Beyond what our Eyes Perceive | Phivos Phylactou | TEDxYouth@AgiouAndreou

The eyes enable light to enter our system, but do we see through our eyes? Our brain is responsible for processing all the visual information, making us available to understand the world around us. Here, we explore some of the brain's capabilities and limitations, and describe how we can explore the brain areas responsible for processing visual information. Phivos is currently a PhD researcher at Cyprus University of Technology. He considers himself a science communicator, an athlete, a book lover and a volunteer. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and this, along with his passion for research, made him curious about the neuroscientific basis of cognitive processes. Currently, he is investigating healthy individuals to discover basic neuroscientific evidence about memory and perception with the use of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, brain imaging, and behavioural experiments. He is going to explain how we don’t just see with our eyes, but also with our brain. But how do we know that? How does the brain see? And, how do we understand this using science? This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
