SOCR Project - SOCR Interactive Optical Illusions Project
Project Goals
This project aims to design, implement and promote a set of diverse optical illusions using motion, color, shape, appearance, visual and perceptional cues, etc. The applets mush be lightweight, allow user interaction, convey interesting/unexpected visual illusions, and provide appropriate explanations for all of these visual perceptions. One example is the Pacman's illusion (right). Additional examples of such visuals are included below.
Example
The Adelson-Checker-Shadow illusion is very interesting. The color/shade of square A is exactly the same gray shade of square B. You can see the evidence by clicking on the Show button to the right. Even after seeing the proof, your eyes may still keep deceiving you.
Alternative Illusion Projects
There are a number of alternative mind-illusion projects similar to the optical illusions that can be initiated. For example, one can use audio stimuli to convey an illusion or to capture data about sound/tone perception. Then one can investigate phenotypic effects (e.g., gender and age) on the brain processing/perception of audio signals.
Optical Illusion Survey
Please complete this anonymous SOCR Optical Illusions Survey.
