  • Is reality as objective as we think? In this episode of Mind Theory, we dive into The Reality Illusion: Why Our Brains Don’t See the World As It Really Is. Based on insights from Psychology Today, we’ll explore how our brains construct a personalized version of reality, shaped by sensory input and internal interpretation. From visual illusions to phantom limbs, learn how the mind fills in gaps and sometimes creates experiences that don’t exist. Discover why our perceptions differ so drastically from objective reality and what this means for how we navigate the world.
