"Synergy, Schminergy:  Why two kinds of scientists and all the public health people in the world can't understand complex chemical exposures"

In our chemical-saturated world, it's critical to understand the health impacts of the complex mixtures of chemicals to which we are daily exposed.  Despite decades of study, there is still little consensus among scientists about how chemical exposures act together. Even worse, scientists in different fields use the same words in different ways, contributing to a confusion that limits the ability of policymakers to address chemical threats to health.

 We See What We Think We See

 
Our general world knowledge, previous experiences, contextual information, and even our fears, thoughts, and imagination influence our visual perception in a dynamic manner. In other words, top-down influences play a determining role in what we actually “see” in the environment.  What remains to be determined is the amount of influence these processes exert over vision and the extent to which they actually influence our day-to-day perceptions. Evidence from vision science as well as experimental evidence from my lab will be presented to describe this process. Real-life examples of misperceptions will also be presented as examples and discussed.
