The ‘brown’ square in the centre top, and the ‘orange’ square in the centre front are exactly the same shade of brown.
Don't believe it?

The SCINTILLATING GRID – black dots appear at random intersections
Focus on a single intersection, the dot does not appear. The dots disappear if you are too close or too far from the image.
![Page 15: optical illusions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/55550b11b4c9051a5b8b530c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Move your head back and forward.
What happensto the
circles?
![Page 16: optical illusions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/55550b11b4c9051a5b8b530c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Focus on just the centre circle
while moving your head
![Page 17: optical illusions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/55550b11b4c9051a5b8b530c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

![Page 18: optical illusions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/55550b11b4c9051a5b8b530c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
![Page 19: optical illusions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/55550b11b4c9051a5b8b530c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot,
the dots will remain only one color, pink.
However if you stare
at the black " +" in the center, the moving dots turns to green.
Now, concentrate on the black " + " in the center of the picture. After a short period, all the pink dots will
slowly disappear, and you will only see only
a single green dot rotating.

The "illusion" is that this is just a picture of coffee beans; but it is not. Can you find a man's face among the beans?
If you find the face in 3 seconds or less, the right half of your brain may be more well developed than most.

Now turn to following slide which is completely blank.
Blink a couple of times.
Concentrate for 20 seconds.
What do you see?

the original stimuli. Did they appear different?

Julian Beever creates pavement art. Many of his creations are optical
illusions, such as this one, where he appears to be perched on a ledge, waiting for Batman and Robin to
climb the building and rescue him.
In reality, there is just pavement in front of him – the rest is a 'trick the
eye'.
![Page 75: optical illusions](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/55550b11b4c9051a5b8b530c/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Can you see the Shark in the picture above. The trick is not to focus directly on the image but
try to focus on a point through the image. With a bit of patience and relaxation you CAN do it.
