Optical Illusions

Illusions of the senses tell us the truth about perception -Teuber,1960 Illusions are fascinating to most people. Some of the illusions have been known since antiquity. The scientific study of illusions dates back to the beginning of the nineteenth century when scientists got interested in perception. Since then there has been enduring interest, and illusions have been used as tools in the study of perception. An important strategy in finding out how perception operates is to observe situations in which mis-perceptions occur.
