This captivating book presents stunning full-color images—including visual illusions in fine art as well as deceptively simple illustrations crafted by psychologists—to highlight the ways in which we take in and process the world around us.
In three sections, "Seeing," "Thinking," and "Being," readers see for themselves why these visual illusions and experiments hoodwink the brain. Topics include how the structure of the eye influences what we see, and why and how the mind can create false memories. Using clear, user-friendly language, each chapter guides readers through a series of perceptual and thought experiments and then walks them through the brain’s reaction to them.
Quantities are limited.
