Perceptual Paradoxes: Multisensory Science and Measurement

by: Thomas O'Brien

Perceptual paradox activities challenge assumptions in ways that are both playful and mentally challenging and that point to the need for quantitative measurements. These activities also demonstrate that human meaning-making always involves both selective perception and active conception-making. Each of the experiments in this chapter serves as a unique visual participatory analogy for science education that can be discussed and critiqued.
