Our Psychology students dive into the world of illusions at Thessaloniki's Museum of Illusions
First-year Psychology students recently ventured into the captivating realm of optical illusions during their visit at the Thessaloniki's Museum of Illusions, accompanied by PhD candidate and Lecturer Nena Evgeniadou. Students delved into the mechanics of how the brain processes and interprets sensory information—an essential topic in their studies. The museum’s immersive exhibits and activities allowed students to see firsthand how illusions can trick the brain, offering a unique opportunity to connect theoretical knowledge with real-world phenomena. This experience not only enhanced students’ understanding of perception but also showcased the power of engaging, hands-on learning in a fun and stimulating environment.
