"I was eight songs into finishing the record, doing a vocal, and I heard the melody in my head before it was written.

To most people, the one on the left appears bigger, but this is because it is surrounded by smaller circles. This principle is illustrated in the figure with circles. The contrast between our focus of attention and the remainder of the environment may make an object appear bigger or smaller. Our visual perception is often biased because we do not perceive objects in isolation. We compare the middle circle on the left to its surrounding circles, whereas the middle circle on the right is compared to the bigger circles surrounding it. Which of the circles in the middle is bigger? At first glance, the one on the left may appear bigger, but they are in fact the same size. Our coverage of biases and tendencies in perception is not exhaustive-there are many other biases and tendencies on our social perception.

What makes human perception so interesting is that we do not solely respond to the stimuli in our environment. Perception may be defined as the process with which individuals detect and interpret environmental stimuli. We interpret our environment, formulate responses, and act accordingly. Our behavior is not only a function of our personality, values, and preferences, but also of the situation.
