Welcome to the Department of Neurobiology at Harvard Medical School

How do our brains distinguish between reality and what we perceive as reality?

Dr. Aleena Garner, Assistant Professor of Neurobiology at Harvard Medical School, dives deep into the fascinating neuroscience of perception in a TEDxNE talk.
