Why this matters

Beyond curiosity.

Practical consequences

Eyewitness testimony is less reliable than juries assume. Safety-critical displays must respect attention limits. Interface design that fights perception produces errors.

  • Confidence in what you saw is not evidence of accuracy.
  • Designing for how people actually perceive is cheaper than training them to compensate.

A useful humility

Your experience is a model, usually accurate and occasionally confidently wrong. Holding that lightly is the most transferable lesson in this course.
