Current Event of the Day: Optical Illusions!

Check out this amazing article from DOGO News. We had just finished studying eyes last week, and as I was researching current events today, I came across this one: http://www.dogonews.com/2013/11/18/japanese-scientists-uncover-cool-optical-illusion Enjoy!

  1. Hey hey! This was a fascinating article! It was a really good choice for the week considering our recent eye studies. So can you figure out why they work like they do based on your studies of the eye? I think it might have something to do with peripheral vision, rods and cones, and blind spots. What do you think?

  2. Maybe you can. The studies seem like very reliable sources. Maybe your theory is right. I think that, if you look at the whole picture in a general perspective, your brain thinks that the dots or stars are just jumbling around in random directions. Or it could be the slight movements that your eyes might make. Who knows?
