So, let’s take a look
at some examples of optical illusions.Slide12
OPTICAL ILLUSION 1
This is the Bunny/Duck illusion
. At first glance, what do you see? Now give it some time, but do not focus on one certain area, and then ask yourself; what do I
really see? Slide13
OPTICAL ILLUSION 2
Do you see some squares or rectangles
? Really, this is nothing more than a bunch of lines going in every which direction, but the way our mind interprets these lines are totally different!!Slide14
