About

A conversation about the nature of knowledge, perception, and reality will connect cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, and philosophy. It seems that reality is given to us directly: we look, hear, remember, compare facts, and draw conclusions. However, modern studies of consciousness increasingly show that the picture of the world is born more complexly. The brain does not copy the external environment like a camera but constantly reconstructs it, comparing signals from the senses with expectations, previous experiences, and internal models. Therefore, the usual "I know" turns into a big philosophical and scientific question. In the lecture, philosopher Alexander Khomyakov will analyze what is considered knowledge from the perspective of cognitive psychology and how much it can actually coincide with what lies beyond our perception. We are sharing on KUDAGO where to go in St. Petersburg this weekend for free.
