Illusions Blog

I viewed the Fourier Analysis, Induced Motion, Use of Visual Information in Art, Effects of Shadow, Vergence Eye Movements, Figural Aftereffect, Color Aftereffect, and Emmert's Law tutorials.  I learned a lot about how the mind can play tricks on us and how our previous beliefs, like the placement of the sun, can affect our perception of a picture.  It was rather surprising how easily my perception of an image changed after having new information.  I also thought it was cool how our minds can remember images we had seen.  These tutorial changed my view of how we sense and perceive the world by showing me how important our beliefs an previous knowledge is to how we perceive things.  This affects me by showing me that I must make sure that I am unbiased when I look at an image and try to only see the facts, although that might be impossible.
