As our lives become further immersed in virtual and augmented realities, our ability to separate real from illusion is being put to the test. In this episode, Washington University neurosurgeons at Barnes-Jewish Hospital explore the notion of truth and how our brains have to deal with a new challenge in the age of rendered content: Did we really just see what we think we saw? Is what we read based in fact? Learn how exposure to content that’s designed to trigger emotional and potentially stressful reactions can impact not only your perception of truth, but your health as well.
