Illusions, perception and cognitive science.

This group is primarily about the many different forms of Visual Illusions. Whether these illusions are conveyed through fractals, architecture, art, or other forms, they are bound to remind you that seeing "is not believing" . So post your jpg graphics, links to magical sites and share the papers out there explaining why.

What we perceive doesn't necessarily correspond with the physical measurement of our reality. Our actions are guided by what we perceive and not typically by what can be measured to exist or often by what we know.

WARNING: Some optical illusions can cause dizziness or possibly epileptic seizures. The latter happens when the brain can't handle the conflicting information from your two eyes. If you start feeling unwell when viewing any illusion, immediately cover one eye with your hand and then leave the page. Do not close your eyes because that can make the attack worse.
