What this talk is about:

A journey into the mesmerizing world of optical illusions, specially designed for young, inquisitive minds. Prepare to be amazed as cognitive neuroscientist Prof Paul Bays unveils the secrets behind some of the most baffling visual tricks.

From mysterious images that seem to move on their own, to colours that play hide and seek, this talk explores how our brains and eyes work together to interpret the world around us – and sometimes get it entirely wrong!

A playful exploration of perception, this talk will challenge young minds to question what they see and encourage them to look beyond the obvious.

Aimed at:

Children under 12 (but suitable for all ages!)
