The first activity I did was with the one tiled "Seeing More Than the Eye Does." The activity was to close the left eye and look at this cross with the right eye. You were supposed to recognize the black dot on the right side of the screen, but you can't look at it only with prefural vision. You were to start a couple feet away and get closer to the screen while looking at the cross. As you get about a foot or so close to the screen you will notice the black dot disappears for a second and reappears as you get closer. The next activity was with "Ambiguous Figures." Ambiguous figures have more than just one meaning. For example one of the pictures was of a skull one way and a woman looking in a mirror with her reflection. What you did was look at all sorts of pictures and see if you can find the other meaning.
One thing I learned from completeing the activity was that we don't truely see with our eyes but with our minds. Also that each eye has a blind spot, so that when the other eye is closed the mind will make up something for the blindspot.
This information suprised me because from little on we're taught that we see with our eyes. So know when I look at something weird I'm going to wonder if my mind is making up or if I'm actually seeing what I'm seeing.
It's really different to realize some one has two brains, and that they somewhat think differently.
