Perception and unexpected tricks of the mind

What this episode covers

Let's discuss the fascinating topic of human cognition and how it relates to product design. The way people think and perceive the world is often distorted by biases and expectations, and can be manipulated by the way information is presented. The Von Restorff effect, and use of the Entasis technique in architecture are examples of how cognitive science can be used to create visually appealing products.
