Keeping Upright: the role of our perception of vertical
How do we tell where vertical is? What does this mean? Why should we care? These are some of the questions that will be discussed in this month’s talk by one of our own team of organisers , Dr Sharon Docherty from Anglo European College of Chiropractic. As well as finding out how our perception helps us interact with the world around us, you will be able to test your own perception of vertical and see how it compares to that of others in a live interactive experiment.
