Applying Illusions

The video discusses the challenges of treating epilepsy when surgery is required, highlighting the risks of affecting speech areas in the brain. The water test is a traditional method to determine cerebral dominance but is invasive. Alternatives like fMRI and MEG are less reliable. The octave illusion is presented as a promising non-invasive test, showing strong correlation with cerebral dominance in a study. The findings suggest it could replace or complement the water test, reducing the need for invasive procedures.
