Visual illusions have always fascinated me. This coffee table size book contains close to 300 different visual illusions. I believe it is the most comprehensive & amazing collection of visual illusions ever assembled. This collection has been created by Al Seckel, a cognitive vision scientist of the CALTECH. The best learning experiences I got out of visual illusions are a greater understanding - & appreciation - of how the brain really works & its innate abilities. I often use many of the visual illusions to demonstrate the principal operating principles of the brain, particularly the salient aspects of selective recognition and patterning. I have also found that some of them have been very useful in demonstrating cognitive traps & pattern interrupts, especially in the context of personal creativity. Although the visual illusions are fun to play with, I find them very educational, just as what I have elaborated. I reckon this stunning collection can serve as an excellent companion to J Richard Block's 'Can You Believe Your Eyes', which is unfortunately printed in Black & White.
