I remember the first time I learned about affordances and what the brain does with them - our learning about how we relate to things in the world. So cool!

Check out the latest by @sci_toons explaining them: 🧪 🧠

Had a fantastic visit to NYU the past couple of days. Thank you to my hosts!

I had excellent conversations with new and old friends and colleagues. 🧠🧪
