Impairment Goggles offer a great hands on opportunity for students to try an activity while using the impairment goggles in a safe environment. They will experience, first hand the brains ability to adapt to some of our sensations and perceptions. They will partner up with a classmate and toss a ball and try to catch it while one of them is using the goggles. The students record how many tosses it takes for our brains to adapt to the skewed angel that is presented by the goggles. As we learn about how our brain processes sensations such as sight, students will not just hear and see, but experience their own brain process information about odd sensations (like the impairment goggles) and then adjust within a few trials to adapt in order to understand our world.
