Illusions of Seeing: Exploring the World of Visual Perception By: Thomas Ditzinger

Author: Thomas Ditzinger

This book discusses the mysteries of vision and provides readers with experiments to help them discover the illusions of seeing and the features of their own perception. Sixty percent of all impressions of our surroundings are transported to our brain via our eyes. Therefore, seeing is perceived as the key to understanding.
Illusions of Seeing explains the multifaceted nature of perception. The book begins with a discussion on the essence of light and its perception to the human eye. It presents a comprehensive overview of the basic laws of human perception as well as the fundamentals of good gestalt. Subsequent chapters discuss geometric-optical illusions; the perception of form, brightness, and translucency and their interaction with each other; ambiguous perception, color vision, spatial vision.
The book ends with a discussion of the perception of motion and its interaction with color, form, and spatial depth and a full chapter devoted to illusions in our everyday life.
This book will be of interest to psychologists, physicists, biologists, and undergraduate and graduate students within the field of cognitive psychology.
