 ====== Illusions and Perceptual Problems with the Human Brain ======

+By [[steve-wang|Steve Wang]]
+Today we looked at illusions. Basically how people can find meaning from something. That dodo not originally have meaning. For example, people can see movement in images that are not moving. That could also be the case in our conversation. People often find meanings in the things we say and the way we communicate without us intending to give any meaning. This can be clearly seen everywhere but I think it would be good to look at the example of convincing Greg, the workaholic, to go on a vacation. When we suggest this to him, we have to be clear that the point of this trip is for rest and relaxation and not work. So, at the end of all of the convincing, we could add:” we should go on vacation to rest and to take a break. While we can get some work done in our downtime, we should focus on rating so we can work better when we come back.” This way we can make it clear the point of this vacation is to take a break. Doing this will ensure that Greg does not misinterpret our intentions and find meanings in our convincing words we may have said before that we did not intend to convey. In conclusion of all of the many different aspects of communication we have studied so far, we have learned to appeal to people’s needs, intersts and so much more but at the end of the day, the point of communication is to convey our intention. The communicator can wrap our words in other words others may want to hear but the main message must be clear to the receiver.
