THE USER ILLUSION
Cutting Consciousness Down to Size

Tor Norretranders
Penguin, 1999

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - This course was designed to allow the reader to:
• Understand the evidence that consciousness represents a minority of the stimuli that we process and is a construction of what we perceived a half second ago
• Compare the illusion of how we think our minds work with what research tells us
• Learn the amount of information our consciousness process
• Learn about intuition and the unconscious
• Review evidence of decisions made about a half second before we are aware of them
• Review psychological, information processing, and physical research relevant to consciousness

Tor Norretranders is Denmark's leading science writer and the award-winning author of more than ten books. He has hosted numerous television programs on science and established a major cooperative network of scientists and artists.
