New Book of Optical Illusions
The New Book of Optical Illusions is a mind-bending collection of 150 of the most significant optical phenomena, loosely grouped into 33 chapters according to particular visual effect.An optical illusion has two elements. It may be merging lines, moving shapes or conflicting sizes. One is the perceived illusion, what you see.
Here enters The New Book of Optical Illusions, which describes the latter--the science of an optical illusion.Concise text describes the history of the optical illusions and their origin. The other element is the scientific explanation or neuronal basis of the illusion. Some are ancient (like a 3D Roman mosaic in a 2nd-century BC home on Malta) and others are modern (like emoticons and street art).
There are rarely seen phenomena, works by great illusionists, like M.C. Escher, and well-known illusions like the Impossible Triangle
