Have you ever succumbed to an illusion? When I mean here not the illusion of earning a lot of money with little work, but the optical illusion in which something appears quite different from what it really is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I find this topic exciting.
The eye sees something and the brain cannot connect what it sees with reality and cannot interpret it. There are numerous examples of when one has fallen victim to an optical illusion. The first thing that comes to mind is certainly the mirage or the mirage. But I have to disappoint you, this is a purely physical phenomenon and not an optical illusion. No, an optical illusion (visual illusion) is a perceptual illusion that affects almost all areas of vision. Colour illusions, geometric illusions, motion illusions, etc., the visual system can sometimes lead us around by the nose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Very close to the Berlin TV Tower, there has been the small Museum of Illusions since summer 2018. Many exciting illusions are presented here and little magic moments are created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
