PERCEPTION - Dr. Oliver Sacks

I thought that it will be useful to include the personal webpage to Dr. Sacks whose account we read together (about the patient suffering from visual agnosia). Browse around and meet the man who explores such human conditions -

ok, we've discussed a number of instances regarding perception , the how and the what of seeing.

this particular post relates to an article i gave out to you, a part of the lengthy package that deals with perception. the article is called 'the man who mistook his wife's head for a hat', and the dr. who wrote it is dr. oliver sacks, a neurologist whose work is primarily concerned with such conditions and illnesses as agnosia.
