Chapter 6 Illusions

I went to Roget's 'Palisade' Illusion, Flash-Lag Effect, "Stepping feet" Motion Illusion, Motion Induced Blindness, "Breathing Square" Illusion, Scintillating Grid, Pyramid Illusion.
From these tutorials I learned that you see things that don't really happen. These illusions show how our brain and eyes trick us into thinking we are seeing moving objects or the disappearing of objects. What surprised me was the flash-lag effect and the breathing square. I thought that the objects were really disappearing and getting smaller and bigger. Yet again my trust in my sight has been reduced. IT makes me want to take a closer look at things we see in every day life.
