To see or not to see: Edinburgh fringe ’s startling plays about perception
Two new shows at the festival question senses of hearing and sight in engaging and eccentric waysSeeing is believing, right? That is a phrase used repeatedly by Mamoru Iriguchi and co-star Gavin Pringle in What You See When Your Eyes Are Closed/What You Don ’t See When Your Eyes Are Open (★★★★☆).

Believing Myths About Aging Makes Growing Old Worse
In this study, a positive mindset toward aging—meaning, “I’m excited about the possibilities in the second half of my life, and I believe my best days are ahead of me”—translated into an extra eight years of healthy longevity. Nor is this just a one-off result. This finding shows up again and again, and is now one of the most well-established facts in the field.
