New Optical Illusion : Poggendorff Optical Illusion

Poggendorff Optical Illusion

The Poggendorff Illusion is an optical illusion that involves the brain’s perception of the interaction between diagonal lines and horizontal and vertical edges.

It is named after Johann Poggendorff (1796-1877), a German physicist who first described it in 1860. In the image above, a straight black and red line is obscured by a grey rectangle. The blue line appears, instead of the red line, to be the same as the black one, which is clearly shown not to be the case in the second picture.

Bumping or Holes Circle Optical Illusion

Bumping or Holes Circle Optical Illusion
You are likely to see that the top row of circles appear as "bumps" followed by "holes" and so on in an alternating pattern.

Can you try and see the opposite? Have a good hard look and try to see the first row as holes and the second as bumps. Difficult?

Now hide the bottom row of circles from your field of vision (either with your hand, or scrolling your browser window appropriatly). Is it easier to see the first row as holes now?

New Optical Illusion : word recognision illusion

word recognision illusion

An investigation of an English university discovered that it doesn't matter in which order the letter are written in a word. The only importance is that the first and the last letter are standing at the right location.

The letters between the first and the last letter in a word may be located at random. Because we don't read each letter at a time, we read the word as a whole.
