Your amygdala can rest. I'll join you.

I've often wondered if we can reduce gang violence by teaching individuals to overcome their fear of going against the herd.

I guess the child in the story, "The Emperor's New Clothes" must have been a budding iconoclast because he cried out loud what his eyes told him, not what the Emperor wanted all to believe, thereby risking being called stupid or disloyal by all.

Greg,
Iconoclast is an outstanding book, - just love it! My partner and I bought it for all our colleagues for their own next steps.

As a psychiatrist with many years of experience using SPECT imaging diagnostically I can affirm with great certainty the value of your work in the trenches of office application.

You may be interested in my review of Iconoclast there:

I look forward to connecting further and would consider it a privilege to have you on an interview for my neuroscience readers.

Thanks so much!
Chuck

I saw your book plugged in FastCompany where they also showed visual illusions that trick the eye (or as you theorized your brain recovers pre-existing imagery.) As visual designers we often play with these conventions, we are asked to design logos and artwork that conjures up a feeling or makes a certain impression. We put together a series of visual illusions that you may appreciate: http://www.langtoncherubino.com/illusions/index.html
