This week Associate Professor of Psychology David Chambers helps us explore how humans process an overwhelming amount of sensory information and how attention serves as the gateway to perception and memory. This talk will consider the neurological foundations of focus, the role of novelty and adaptation, and how these processes shape what we remember, especially our tendency to prioritize negative or threatening information. Ultimately, it connects these ideas to how we construct meaning and how an individual’s intention supports their search for truth.
