Synopsis

For centuries, people have created and enjoyed visual illusions. Millions of illusions have been produced in the name of science, education, and above all fun, and this book looks at more than 120 of them. It features all types of illusion: size distortions, hidden figures, moving patterns, color illusions, and much more. Each illusion will fascinate, challenge, and trick the reader, but also offers an explanation of how it works, encouraging people to look differently at the world around them. Authors Gianni A. Sarcone and Marie-Jo Waeber are leading authorities on visual perception and designers of many new optical illusions that fascinate neuroscientists worldwide.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Packed with inventive and colourful artworks, and with an emphasis on education and creative thinking, this book will provide hours of fun for optical illusion lovers and designers, researchers and artists involved in the field of visual illusions. This fun-packed book is divided up into nine galleries or chapters, each one featuring numerous types of illusion: size distortions, hidden figures, moving patterns, colour adaptation, and many more. Each type of illusion is accompanied by an explanation of just how it works, and why the brain is fooled. Gianni A. Sarcone and Marie-Jo Waeber are experts in brain training and are particularly involved in cognitive sciences (teaching methodology, creativity and communication).
