Overview
Overview
Ever wonder how you can guess what your dad is making in the kitchen with just a whiff? Or why you don't hear your refrigerator running in the next room?
That's your brilliant brain at work! Your smartest organ tells you what your senses are sensing--without you even trying! It uses what you already know and your memories to understand all that you hear, see, smell, taste, and touch. Go beyond your senses in this playful picture book and explore the science behind how you make sense of the world around you. You'll discover how your body picks up clues from your environment and how your nervous system turns all those observations into messages for your brain to interpret and fill in the blanks--all at lightning speed--to form your perception. Kid-friendly text from two expert psychologists along with cheerful art provides an in-depth look at how it all comes together. You'll see just how important your brain is to the senses! Amusing sidebars and hands-on activities encourage readers to learn more.
