After Dark: Question Your Perception

Can an artificial hand feel like part of your body? How do you know you're really paying attention to what's going on in front of you? Tonight at After Dark, we spotlight exhibits that probe the nature of human perception. Consider the ways we see color, the powerful role of attention in determining what we see (and what we don't see), and fascinating optical illusions whose disorienting patterns help scientists better understand how our visual systems work.

Please note: Food and drinks will be available to purchase in our Seaglass Restaurant and enjoy there or outdoors in Gallery 5 during After Dark.
