Chapter 3 and 4 notes

Our minds control motion and senses that can be manipulated into thinking something that is not true, but it feels true. These are called phantom pains.  Our brains are just not wired the way technology is. Humans can not do the regular things that computers do like remember a long list of instructions or sequences.

There is a feeling of being in another place and not the place you are really in. For example, when you are in a car chatting away on the on the phone. You are physically in the car, but your mind is elsewhere, you disassociate with your physical form in the favor of your mental one! The idea of telepresence has the same notion. It uses technology to control something in another place. 

Phantom Pains are a pain in the butt, huh? Feeling something and KNOWING that your body is missing that limb, but your brain is like 'nah man, your arm itches...scratch it.''

Neural Opportunism: Data processing bandwidth 

Our perception is limited! 

Meta knowledge: Rapid decision making

Baseline knowledge: stable source of information

change blindness: pretty much not remembering what you just saw
Fovea
Intentional blindness: failing to notice something that's in front of you when you're distracted by something else.

Week...uh...8?

Ahhhh.
My group forgot to do the reading, I was the only one who actually did it.
I felt bad because Thomas was upset and it felt like it was my fault for not reminding them.
I hope they don't get in trouble.
Also I made a thing.

I tried uploading a video of it messing with a fan, but it refused, oh well.
