Understanding Deception and Reflexes

The video tutorial introduces an activity involving catching a bill to demonstrate reflexes and deception. It explains the concept of time bracketing, where perception of when an event starts and ends can be manipulated. The tutorial includes a practical demonstration of the activity and discusses how reflexes work, emphasizing the delay between seeing an action and reacting to it.
