Sense perception

Sense perception was further discussed in this class by exploring multiple videos and images which made us question, "Can we trust our eyes?". Optical illusions as well as perception affected how our brains perceived what was received. One of the examples was the colors, in which apparently women can identity them better and in a wider range.
One of the videos shown asked to count how many hydro-balls where in a transparent cup filled with water. What was not seen apart from the 5 dropped was that there were hundreds of smaller ones floating on top of the cup which in our given angle, could not be seen.
A video about an Einstein structure in which one side was inward and one side was outward, but our brains made it the inward side pop out to make the illusion of it also being outward or in a 3 dimensional position.
A boy who became blind at he age of 3, developed his other senses further and could actually see things in a different way by the use of senses and could feel the vibrations of the things around them and was able to locate all the things around him.

To which extent is human perception limited?

Some of the limitations on human perception can be seen as with sight, you can really see 360 degrees, leading to not being aware of everything that is happening around you, sometimes optical illusions ca trick your brain into thinking that an image is something that might not necessarily be correct, this would be your brain trying to connect past experiences with what you are trying to process in that moment. We all also have a blind spot if you look at something in a specific angle. One can only hear, smell and see something so far which puts limitations into how we perceive the world around us therefore creating a different perspective when looking at something.
