An Optical Illusion

An optical illusion. The two circles seem to move when the viewer’s head is moving forwards and backwards while looking at the black dot.

It’s Not Really What You Think You See

According To Matthew Luckiesh: This book, published in 1922, is a report on the applied science of optical illusions or visual illusions as they were called then. It was written by Matthew Luckiesh, Director of Applied Science, NELA Research Laboratories, National Lamp Works of General Electric Co.

I find this topic fascinating. Imagine, we thought what we saw is what it was. But, apparently, not so! This is the beginning of a series on optical, or visual illusions. (Previous articles have been written about this topic on my blog)

Optical Illusions Are Everywhere

Seeing is deceiving. Thus a familiar epigram may be challenged in order to indicate the trend of this book which aims to treat certain phases of optical illusions. In general, we do not see things as they are or as they are related to each other; that is, the intellect does not correctly interpret the deliverances of the visual sense, although sometimes the optical mechanism of the eyes is directly responsible for the optical illusion. In other words, none of our conceptions and perceptions are quite adequate, but fortunately most of them are satisfactory for practical purposes. Only a part of what is perceived comes through the senses from the object; the remainder always comes from within. In fact, it is the visual sense or the intellect which is responsible for optical illusions of the various types to be discussed in the following chapters. Our past experiences, associations, desires, demands, imaginings, and other more or less obscure influences create optical illusions.

ILLUSIONS OF FORM
Round letters may appear square or triangular; straight letters may appear curved; letters of regular form may appear very irregular; a round letter may appear to have a checkerboard or a cross in the center. In short, an infinite variety of changing forms may be seen. Illumination, distance and environment are all factors in this form of imperfect sight. Many persons can see the form of a letter correctly when other letters are covered, but when the other letters are visible they cannot see it. The indication of the position of a letter by a pointer helps some people to see it. Others are so disturbed by the pointer that they cannot see the letter so well.

The Mystery: Straight from the Eyes to the Brain…Where Does It Go From There?

I am searching and delving into the mystery of the eye. How is it that our eyes are an actual extension of our inner being, a mirror to our soul and spirit? What is it that our eyes are connected to that gives them so much life? So much expression?

Improve Your Vision –
Restore Overall Eye Health

The eyes, as we all know by now, are more efficient than any computer created by man. We already know that the eyes are connected to the brain, physically. This connection makes the difference between what we see, and how we interpret what we see. The eyes look…the bran tells us what we see when we look.

This is where the vast field of illusions comes into being. We see what we see, our eyes do not fool us, but our brain does, it turns around and says “nope, that is not what you see…this is what you see”. Amazing isn’t it. Our brain and our eyes are at war. Mostly the brain wins.
