Optical illusions that science studies to explain the “tricks” of the mind – Digital Journal


 
 Do not worry if you do not identify anything:. Unless you already know the images are likely to only see black spots

The curious thing is that when you can finally see what seems to be hidden, not fails to see it

This is a phenomenon that demonstrates the ability of our visual system to organize what we see in an understandable way

But there is another interesting aspect:.. there are people who are reading this wondering why some do not see what for them is obvious.

Michael Bach is an expert in the subject, not only studied the optical illusions and also has a website in which collects examples and explains them.

“As a scientist, illusions serve to test the degree to which we understand our visual perception,” he told BBC.

“As a human being, the appearance of an unexpected move my perception has the charm of a joke, “he added.

the optical illusions really fun. But can indicate that something is wrong

The premise is as follows: when a person does not see well what is far, have myopia. When, after a certain age, fails to see what is near, you have hyperopia. But it fails to see something that is right in front, does that also does not mean a vision problem?

In addition, as explained by Bach, “in the case of many illusions, there is a percentage of people who simply do not see, usually for unknown reasons. “

He gave it the name of” blindness induced movement “. If we do not see, even momentarily, something that is there, we have some visual problem?

The expert ensures not. It says on your website that does not like the term “optical illusions” because “sounds pejorative, as if to expose a flaw in the visual system.”

“In fact, I believe that these phenomena emphasize how this system is good to adapt:. of the base of normal visual experience and so in unusual contexts may result in inappropriate interpretations of the visual scene “

in fact, he said, the optical illusions teach -In “humility”

in addition, they show how “the brain reconstructs an ‘internal world’ with very little information, guided by experience, and occasionally it fails”
