Are people watching the Brain Games series on National Geographic? Some classic sensory-perceptual and cognitive illusions, typically presented in Gen Psych classes are shown. Should make for nice discussion and demos in class. It is Interesting that the psychologists mentioned are not called psychologists but just visual, sensory, or motion scientists, or science writers. The viewing public is not led to see this as involving psychological science. Our students may know this stuff is covered in Psych 100, but of course still believe it is not really psychology like Freud or mental health issues. Now and then the episodes do refer to "psychological effects" or the demos as based on psych research, but this is rare. Anyway, the demos are cool.
