Human perception –some bizarre perspectives

Abstract

Perception, many a time, manifests in bizarre ways. Sometimes we look at things but do not see/perceive them and at other times we perceive the things that do not exist. Brain is the area where perception is processed and even slight damage to the brain turns perception into bizarre events. There are people born with a brain circuitry which makes them perceive a color when they look at a digit and there are instances when a person possesses a brain which makes him/her remember minutest details of every day spent in his/her life. These are few of the bizarre happenings detailed in this paper. Perception, scientifically, is said to happen through the use of known five senses-seeing, hearing, smelling, touching, and tasting but there are occasions when we perceive without use of these senses, maybe there is a really a sixth sense. Perception has many bizarre manifestations and this paper takes a look at them. It is interesting to be aware about them.
