UNDERSTANDING PERCEPTION
There is probably no single better, more interesting source about the study of perception than Oliver Sacks. To me, he was best known for The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat until I realized only recently that he was the real man behind Awakenings. This is but one small part of his output. Buy his books! Watch the movie!
