From the Ted Talk by Tom Wujec: 3 ways the brain creates meaning

Unscramble the Blue Letters


So, for example, when you look at this image a good graphic iintves the eye to dart around, to selectively create a visual lgioc. So the act of engaging, and looking at the iamge creates the meaning. It's the selective logic. Now we've augmented this and spatialized this information. Many of you may remember the magic wall that we built in cijtncuoonn with Perceptive Pixel where we quite lealtilry create an infinite wall. And so we can compare and contrast the big ideas. So the act of eanigngg and creating interactive imagery enriches meaning. It activates a different part of the brain. And then the limbic system is activated when we see motion, when we see color, and there are primary shapes and pettran detectors that we've haerd about before.

Original Text


So, for example, when you look at this image a good graphic invites the eye to dart around, to selectively create a visual logic. So the act of engaging, and looking at the image creates the meaning. It's the selective logic. Now we've augmented this and spatialized this information. Many of you may remember the magic wall that we built in conjunction with Perceptive Pixel where we quite literally create an infinite wall. And so we can compare and contrast the big ideas. So the act of engaging and creating interactive imagery enriches meaning. It activates a different part of the brain. And then the limbic system is activated when we see motion, when we see color, and there are primary shapes and pattern detectors that we've heard about before.
