ch 2 brain biology

one thing I learned form doing the experiments is that your eyes can play tricks on you. some of those optical illusions were very interesting. i learned that my eyes fave a blind spot right in front of my face. this affects me because during driving it could cause me to not see an on coming vehicle. several things I learned from the chapter involved the brain. one was that the brain is separated into to main areas the part that control automatic functions, heart beat and breathing, and the areas in charge of conscious decisions such as walking.

  1. Hey AJ. I totally agree with you when you say that our eyes play tricks on you. I don't think that i learned that from the experiments that we did, but i think they do in different aspects. When you think you saw a ghost or something, thats when i think that my eyes play tricks on me. But hey! Maybe i'm just a weirdo that looks for ghosts! I learned the same things that you did though about the brain, and how it is separated into different parts!
