You think you see with your eyes, but it is not that simple. To perceive something is a complex interplay of brain processes. Our goals, attention, expectations and prior knowledge shape what we ultimately see. Thus, we do not share the exact same reality. Yet, we usually assume we do so. How can that be? And what is this "reality" - does it even exist? Come and  listen to neuroscientist Floris de Lange and philosopher Nina de Boer and discover: is seeing believing, or the other way around?
