Why do we see illusions?
00:00:19
I have collected evidence
00:00:20
For a different kind of hypothesis

Look at this illusion
00:00:31
as an example for many illusions are explained. these hypothesis

00:00:35
I will explain this example step by step.

As usual, these two parallel lines, in fact,

In the middle, in which radiating lines,

it appears in your field of vision wider than above and below.

it appears in your field of vision wider than above and below.
00:00:51
And that is striking
00:00:53
because it is a remarkably simple stimulus.
00:00:55
These are just a few straight lines.
00:00:57
Why would one of the most complex objects in the universe
00:00:59
This very simple picture can not show?

If you want to answer such questions

you must be wondering what this could mean for you. brain

00:01:11
You will not think brains

that it is a pair of lines on paper.

Your brains have evolved to process natural stimuli

When will the brains to such stimuli?

It may seem strange, but you'll see all day.

It may seem strange, but you'll see all day.
00:01:30
and especially as you move forward.

This will create an outward optical flow,

This will create an outward optical flow,

such as when the Enterprise goes to warp speed.
00:01:40
All objects flow out
00:01:41
and leave marks or smudges on your retina.
00:01:45
They all activate mini neurons one by one.

So these are representations of what happens in everyday life.

Strip Illustrators know.

In the real world you do not see a sweep,

but the stimulus back of your eye

brains and that tells you that you are moving.

If you move forward, put your eyes, like cameras, small pictures fixed,
