This article provides insight into a theory of sense perception and how the mind compensates for a number of variables around the senses. The article applies this theory to why optical illusions are in fact illusions.

I found this article interesting because it discusses how people may perceive things differently (although they may not know it), and ultimately questions the accuracy of sense perception.

An interesting article about knowing when to follow your intuition and when not to. This WOK is part of our most recent class discussions and this article can help me and my classmates better understand controlling intuition and what it really means as a way of knowledge.

This article discusses the role that imagination plays as a way of knowing in our lives. Imagination is seen by many as frivolous and of little value, but this article suggests that our imagination actually creates our reality; curiosity and inspiration to learn are essential to making progress in life.

This article is really interesting, because it discusses how the brain feels or creates physical pain for things such as rejection. It uses an example of a person in a simulation being left out of a group passing balls to each other and shows that that person experiences stimulation in his physical pain part of the brain as well as a emotion of rejection. It also talks about the effects of social pain on changing our actions.
