We are visual creatures and we acquire most information by sight. It is amazing how our eyes can automatically adapt to the distance of an object or the amount of the light in the room. Bright light and contrasting patterns can cause optical illusions. Our brain and eyes work together to create images in our brain. It is the mental processing that determines how we see the world. Many times our brain seems to play tricks with us!
In our exhibit, faculty and students from the medical school at VTCSOM, physician assistant students from Jefferson College of Health Sciences will show you how we can trick our brain, based on how our visual system works and we will have fun learning about 3 dimensional vision and seeing some optical illusions.
The Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine and Research Institute joins the basic science, life science, bioinformatics, and engineering strengths of Virginia Tech with the medical practice and medical education experience of Carilion Clinic. The school seats small class sizes of around 42 students each, fostering a rich educational experience. Unique focuses on four value domains - basic sciences, clinical sciences and skills, research, and interprofessionalism - develop physician thought leaders through inquiry, research, and discovery. Virginia Tech Carilion is located in a new biomedical health sciences campus in Roanoke, adjacent to Carilion Clinic and near Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital.
