A BOOK ON THE CONSEQUENCES OF PERCEPTUAL AND COGNITIVE ILLUSIONS

The goal of this sabbatical will be to write a general audience book on the consequences of failures of perception, cognition, attention, and awareness. Specifically, the book will focus on how mistaken beliefs about perception and cognition can lead to dire consequences and will attempt to remedy these consequences by underscoring the strengths and weaknesses of the mind.
