Inducing Supraphysiological Vision in Humans | Demo @ Waterloo
DETAILS ➡️:
• Does vision happen in the eyes or the brain? The general scientific consensus is that vision is generated in the brain. If this is indeed the case–why are all of our interventions for improving vision targeting the eye (somewhat invasively) but not targeting the brain?
• Join us for a live demo of Addy's latest research: an optical lens designed to non-invasively stimulate the human brain to see further away and see a larger range of color.
• Clips from the vision demo at Momentum: https://x.com/ekkolapto/status/2037929356807278661
• Supported by Ekkolapto.org.
• Food and drinks provided!
• Hosted by Addy Cha (Founder @ Ekkolapto.org, O'Shaughnessy Ventures 2025 Grantee, FAU Machine Perception Cognitive Robotics Lab/Center for Complex Systems).
