This episode explores perception and behavior with our guest, Dr. Chaz Firestone. We explore the field of cognitive science, objective vs subjective perception, and ongoing projects in the Perception and Mind Lab!

Dr. Chaz Firestone earned his bachelor's degree from Brown University in both cognitive neuroscience and philosophy, and then stayed at Brown for a Master's Degree in Philosophy before moving to Yale University, where he earned a PhD in cognitive psychology. He then joined the faculty at Johns Hopkins University, where he is currently an Assistant Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences and is also a faculty member in the departments of Philosophy and Cognitive Science. At Hopkins, Dr. Firestone directs the Perception and Mind Laboratory, a group of cognitive scientists and philosophers who study how we perceive the world around us, and how our perception of the world interacts with other processes in our minds. Dr. Firestone also enjoys introducing new students to the science of psychology, and teaches a popular Introduction to Psychology course with its own curated playlist.
