BBC News - The science of optical illusions

If you read throught the whole page its actually, um, eye opening.

When I think about it, its a wonder why I hadn't quite understood why its so easy to fool our perception of things.

 

you might even say that things we see around us are...more than meets the eye *in sing song*.

 

If I lock you in a dark room and scare you enough you'll see or hear ghosts eventually.

 

very intresting, too lazy to read all of it but what i read is a very intresting read

now i know, and knowing is half the battle

 

I watched the Horizon episode last night. Interesting stuff.

 

I'll be firing up the *shock* Wii and watching the program on the BBC iPlayer methinks.

 

Same here. That 'bah' and 'fah' stuff just blew my mind.

 

More interesting is our brains interpret the rest of what we don't physically see. Then it "fills in the gaps".
