In 2015 a striped dress went viral. It took the world by storm, even appearing on national news – but why? 

Some people swore it was blue with black stripes, and others that it was white with gold stripes. How? It’s all down to perception.

This week on The Curiosity Vault we’re exploring how perception can, quite literally in some cases, colour our world, as we ask the question, how can experience change our reality?

Join Dr Alice Roberts, Professor of Public Engagement in Science at the University of Birmingham, as she unpacks the answer with delusional-belief researcher Dr Ema Sullivan-Bissett and clinical psychologist Dr Emma Černis, who studies dissociative experiences.

The Curiosity Vault is a Fresh Air Production for The University of Birmingham. It’s produced by Harriet Wells and Izzie Clarke.
