Summary: The brain is our most complex organ and does an amazing job of processing all the sensory information we perceive. In <a title="Episode 7: The Eye and Colour Vision" href="http://thewonderofreality.com/episode-7-the-eye-and-colour-vision/" target="_blank">Episode 7</a> we talked about tetrachromacy in women and this episode we discuss why there might be so few recognized tetrachromats. Following up our discussion in <a title="Episode 8: The Eye and How We See (Show Notes)" href="http://thewonderofreality.com/episode-guide/miniseries-2-how-humans-are-fallible/episode-8-the-eye-and-how-we-see-show-notes/" target="_blank">Episode 8</a> on the structure of the eye, we dive into how language can affect what we see, even if our eyes are unaltered. Then we covered how itch and pain are different senses in <a title="Episode 9: The Sense Census" href="http://thewonderofreality.com/episode-9-the-sense-census/" target="_blank">Episode 9</a> and we explain how our brain interprets them in this episode. Finally, we continue our discussion on how neurons work from <a title="Episode 10: Sensational Transmission" href="http://thewonderofreality.com/episode-10-sensational-transmission/" target="_blank">Episode 10</a> by explaining why brain freeze happens. Join us as we fill in the pieces in this, the last episode of the first half of Miniseries 2: <a title="Miniseries 2: How Humans are Fallible" href="http://thewonderofreality.com/episode-guide/miniseries-2-how-humans-are-fallible/">"How Humans are Fallible"</a>.
