Cafe Scientifque – TUESDAY NIGHT! Keeping Upright: the role of our perception of vertical

Public engagement Becca Edwards

 

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.

Does this line look straight to you? Find out more on TUESDAY NIGHT at the next Cafe Scientifique. For full details, please see the Cafe Scientifique Bournemouth website. The venue is Cafe Boscanova, doors at 6.30pm, the interactive fun starts at 7.30pm. As ever, snacks and drinks will be for sale.
