A great way to support the channel and to help us to keep going is to check out our merch shop! My wife has created tons of really cool neuroscience, data science and psychology themed shirts, mugs and other gifts.

You can also help the channel by checking out one of my favorite neuroscience books! If you're like me though and don't have time for a physical book then consider listening to one of these on Audible. You can get one of these for free by signing up for a free trial. Even if you cancel before the trial is up, our channel still gets some much needed support!

Are you frustrated because you want to read as much as you can but you can never find the time to pick up a book? I noticed as I got older and busier that I was reading less and less every year. Audible was an absolute game changer! I was able to listen to all the books I wanted to and it was all during the down time moments where reading a physical book was impossible (driving my car, doing the dishes, out on a run, working in the yard..). In the last 5 years I've now listened a total of 4 months 20 days and 8 hours and have managed to listen to over 200 books. They do a free trial and give you your first book for free so give it a try and see if you get sucked in like I did.

This is the sixth lecture in the Cognitive Neuroscience course. Our perceptual reality is a building process. Our brain sees no light, hears no sound, smells, tastes and touches nothing. All it has to work with are patterns of chemical and electrical signals. Early processing regions receive somewhat raw and simple information from the senses and these signals are then combined and associated with one another as information flows to the brain to create the coherent and flexible mental representations that we have of objects in space.
