Illusion

How does historical context—the decay of the old aristocratic order in Europe, the threat and onset of war—appear in Grand Illusion?

(2007). Effects Of Contour Proximity And Lightness On Delboeuf Illusions Created By Circumscribed Letters. Perceptual and Motor Skills, 105(5), 253. doi:10.2466/pms.105.5.253-260 Jaegar and Long conducted a study on how having large surrounding circles and reducing the lightness contrast of the outer ring can decrease the effects of the Delboeuf and circumscribed letters illusions.

Visual illusions have been studied among psychologists for many decades. “Oppel is frequently cited for coining the term ‘geometrical optical illusions’ in 1855” (Phillips, Wade 2014). Early studies have contributed to the development in later psychologist’s interest in why and how illusions affect us. This eventually advanced into Gestalt psychology, with leading psychologists such as Wertheimer (1912) believing “visual perceptions cannot be understood simply by analysing the scene into its…

Ames Room What is an Ames room? An Ames Room is a room that is used to create a visual illusion due to its slanted figure. While the room gives an appearance of a square-shaped from the viewers’ observation, it actually has a trapezoid shape.

This room is set up to look as if it were a perfectly normal room. However,…

My project uses optical illusions to compare gender and see if there are any major differences in how men and women perceive images. But what exactly is an optical illusion? Is age a factor in what the subject is seeing as well? My objective is to construct an experiment to determine whether there are differences between the sexes and how each view certain illusions. My hypothesis is that men and women will perceive or view images differently due to the manner in which their brains process…
