Opera by David Leventi Opera by David Leventi While our obsession with amazing modern theaters is well documented, we certainly appreciate the sense of architectural history shown in the photography of David Leventi.

Some can't – and their experiences are revealing how the brain builds up a coherent picture of the world AFTER her minor stroke, BP started to feel as if her eyes were playing tricks on her. TV shows became confusing: in one film, she was surprised to see a character reel as if punched by an invisible man. Sometimes BP would miss seeing things that were right before her eyes, causing her to bump into furniture or people. BP's stroke had damaged a key part of her visual system, giving rise to a rare disorder called simultanagnosia. BP's problems are just one ...
