Tuesday, April 14, 8PM, Secret Science Club presents Visual Neuroscientist Susana Martinez-Conde @ the Bell House, FREE!
Visual neuroscientist, author, and Scientific American Mind blogger Susana Martinez-Conde talks about
perception, deception, and illusion.
Susana Martinez-Conde is director of the Laboratory of Integrative
Neuroscience at SUNY Downstate, blogger for the Illusion Chasers column at Scientific American Mind, co-author of
the best-selling book Sleights of Mind,
and an organizer of the Best Illusion of the Year Contest. Dr. Martinez-Conde has conducted
groundbreaking research on fixational eye movements—our eyes are never still,
even when our gaze is fixed on an object—and how these movements affect our
vision, perception, and visual processing. She also researches the connections
between art and visual science, and neuromagic, the relationship between
neurobiology and stage magic. Dr. Martinez-Conde's research has been featured in the New
York Times, New Yorker, Nature, and Wired.
