Materials In order to assess ambiguous reversal, participants viewed 10 different optical illusions in the form of images.

(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.

Many are fooled by optical or auditory illusions, such as those in the challenge, as their brain misinterprets what they sense. Our sensation is the stimulation of our sensory organs (Gilbert, Nock, Schacter, Wegner 131). We use this to make perceptions in which we interpret our sensations using receptors, in order to understand what is being sensed. These sensory receptors communicate with the Central Nervous System (CNS), however, through a process called transduction. Transduction occurs when…

How Does Ocular Dominance Affect the Way We See Things? Eyes are what allow our brains to process information, whether it’s to see color or to give the ability to read. They are organs that even allow us to evaluate our health, and can be used to express emotion. Everyone has them and each one is different, but they share a common purpose, and it’s important to know how they work. Light passes through the cornea of the eye, which has the job of protecting the eye and refracting the light so…
