Donald David Hoffman is a Professor of Cognitive Sciences at the University of California, Irvine and book author. He has joint appointments in the Department of Philosophy, the Department of Logic and Philosophy of Science, and the School of Computer Science.

Hoffman studies consciousness, visual perception and evolutionary psychology using mathematical models and psychophysical experiments. His research subjects include facial attractiveness, the recognition of shape, the perception of motion and color, the evolution of perception, and the mind-body problem. He has co-authored two technical books: Observer Mechanics: A Formal Theory of Perception (1989) offers a theory of consciousness and its relationship to physics; Automotive Lighting and Human Vision (2005) applies vision science to vehicle lighting. His book Visual Intelligence: How We Create What We See (1998) presents the modern science of visual perception to a broad audience. His 2015 TED Talk, "Do we see reality as it is?" explains how our perceptions have evolved to hide reality from us.[1] His book "The Case Against Reality: How Evolution Hid the Truth from Our Eyes" (2019) expands on the TED talk.[not verified in body]

In this interview, Professor Hoffman describes his experimentation of sensory perception and its convergence with what was once considered spiritual thinking; that we live in a Universe where it is not matter which is the primary substratum of reality, but Consciousness.
