    Crappier illusion

    Angry face to calm face:

    Now, back away from your computer screen. This effect will work at different distances for different people, but you should see the two characters swap over...! As you come closer to the screen again, they revert to their original characters. Spooky or what!

    Here's another classic, known as the Muller-Lyer illusion. Which of the horizontal lines is longer?

    [​IMG]

    Answer:
    Measure them. You may be surprised to learn that they are the same length. Our tendency to misjudge the length of such lines (as with our tendency to be confused by magic cubes) stems from experiences which have "taught" us to use certain shapes and angles to tell us about size and placement. Such experiences established the conventions of linear perspective.

    Word Illusion

    Read out loud the text inside the triangle below

    [​IMG]

    More than likely you said, "A bird in the bush," and....
    If this IS what YOU said, then you failed to see
    That the word THE is repeated twice!
    Sorry, look again


    Next, let's play with some words.
    What do you see?

    [​IMG]

    In black you can read the word GOOD, in white the word EVIL (inside each black letter is a white letter). It's all very physiological too, because it shows the concept that good can't exist without evil (or the absence of good is evil )

    [​IMG]

    You may not see it at first, but the off-white spaces read the word optical, the blue landscape reads the word illusion. Look again! Can you see why this painting is called an optical illusion?

    [​IMG]

    This one is quite tricky!
    The word TEACH reflects as LEARN.

    Last one.
    What do you see?

    [​IMG]

    You probably read the word ME in brown, but.......
    When you look through ME
    You will see
    YOU!
    Do you need to look again?
