Rule #10: Vision trumps all other senses

  • Vision is by far our most dominant sense, taking yp half of our brain's resources.
  • What we see is only what our brain tells us we see, and it's not 100 percent accurate.
  • The visual analysis we do has many steps. The retina assembles photons into little movie-like streams of information. The visual cortex processes these streams, some areas registering motion, others registering color, etc. Finally, we combine that information back together so we can see.
  • We learn and remember best through pictures, not through written or spoken words.
