COURAGE doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."

optical illusions

February 19, 2008

an optical illusion is the erroneous perception of reality. in other words, what you see is not what’s there. how does it work? it is said that our eyes are not perfect; they can get tired and have a blind spot. when that happens, our brains will interpret every image we see. to demonstrate this, take a look at the image below. since the squirrel doesn’t trust the all-too-friendly smile of the boy, he wants to get out. do you believe you can make it disappear? ;) you can by simply doing the followings steps:

  1.  close your left eye, then look at the boy with your right eye.

  2.  now slowly decrease (or increase) the distance to the screen until the squirrel is gone.

so do you have a blind spot? ;) i also have and it’s large! it’s said to be located in the back of our eyes where the optical nerves ("wiring and cables") enter the eyes. check my album for more photos of this kind. :)
