Illusions

Some of the illusions I went to, to look at were "Stepping Feet","Motions Induced Blindness", "Rotating Snake", "Fading Dot", "Mona", "Shimmer","Trapezoidal Window", "Café Wall Illusion","The Brick Illusion", and "The Hidden Bird."

I learned that our eyes deceive us and pretty much lie to us. They make us think something is happening when it really is just something else that is moving even if it is staying still. I also learned that our eyes are always moving, even if you don’t think you are moving, your eyes really are. They have to move to collect information in order to see.

One thing that surprised me was learning that even if my eyes are still they are moving by themselves to see images. So when the picture is still and has at least 2 different colors in a circle it seems like it is moving in a circular rotation, when really it isn’t. Our eyes sometimes lie to us.

When people say that they didn’t do something and another says yes you did I saw it with my own 2 eyes, they may have been deceived by their eyes. Everyone has a different perspective on things and how they see it. I could see one thing in a picture while a different person can see something different.

It doesn’t really change my perspective on the world. I see the world as I did before. I just now know that the reason why it seems like we see something moving when it really isn’t. And that our eyes can deceive us, but it doesn’t really change how I see the world.
