The first activity I completed was titled Prisoners' Dilemma. In the activity, you go up against Serendip about either agreeing or competing in certain situations. Depending on what you picked, you get a certain number of coins. No matter how many coins you had, at the end both you and Serendip have an equal amount of coins. I really didn't learn anything from this activity, because I didn't see a point to it at all.
The second activity I completed was titled Ambiguous Figures. This activity you looked at pictures that could be seen in two ways and described which way you saw them. One picture had a yellow background with green arrows in one direction, however when looking closely you could also see yellow arrows going in the opposite direction. This can be applied to other things you see in everyday life. If you just take a second to really look at something while walking down the street you might see that it actually has a deeper meaning than what you might think.
In this chapter I learned about how endorphins. Endorphins explain good feels such as the hyperactivity that comes after running in a cross country race. This feeling is often called "Runner's High" and is experienced by most if not all cross country athletes.
Another thing I learned was how we process information. Different people process their information in different ways. It was interesting to see how people process information using the interactive activities we were supposed to do. Also, it was interesting to look at a picture of something and be able to see it in two different ways.
About the "Man With Two Brains" video, I was unable to watch it because for some reason it did not work on my computer.

I also complete the "Ambiguous Figures" activity. I, too, found it cool that you can look at one simple picture and interpret it in so many ways. This just proves our individuality and how each person looks at not only a picture, but at life and events depending on our genetic and experiences.
