#7 How is the Indian concept of Maya helpful (in an analogous way) in understanding how deception works in neuroscience?

The concept of maya refers to magic, or illusion, or simply "not that".  As the video stated, "Maya betrays its real origin and thus tricks us at each turn into believing something about an event that is not true." The Indian concept of Maya is helpful in understanding how deception works in neuroscience because they both have similarities and both interact with one another. For example in the dark we make false assumptions in which our mind plays a trick and deceives us, because we see things the way we want them too as oppose to seeing them the way they actually are.
