Unlikely Collaborators will host a Spark Salon in Santa Monica on December 10, 2025, featuring Lisa Feldman Barrett, PhD, at 7:00 p.m. PT / 10:00 p.m. ET, titled 'Are You a Spectator to Reality? Or Are You Its Creator?'
Barrett's work frames perception and emotion as constructed processes rather than passive reflections of reality, arguing people do not perceive a fixed, objective world, Lisa Feldman Barrett, PhD contends.
Barrett explains that the brain actively constructs every moment of experience, shaping meaning through culture, context and memory, and presents constructionist mechanics for perception and emotion formation.
Dr. Barrett invites audiences to rethink assumptions about perception, emotion and reality itself, highlighting tension between everyday intuitions and her constructionist mind theory.
The timing positions Barrett's ideas to reach audiences at Spark Salon, scheduled for December 10, 2025, to influence perceptions of emotion and reality.
