How play and science can reshape our perception of the world
In short: Neuroscientist Beau Lotto and 12-year-old Amy O'Toole explore the surprising links between scientific discovery and play, demonstrating how the process of investigation can fundamentally change how we perceive our surroundings.
The video features neuroscientist Beau Lotto and student Amy O'Toole, who discusses her experience leading a group of 25 classmates to publish a peer-reviewed article. Their work focuses on the Blackawton bees project, a study that began with the words 'Once upon a time...'.
By participating in science, Lotto suggests that all people, including children, can use the process of discovery to alter their perceptions.
