  • Optical Illusions “What You See Is Not What You Get”
    Optical Illusions “What you see is not what you get” The purpose of this lesson is to introduce students to basic principles of visual processing. Much of the lesson revolves around the use of visual illusions and interactive demonstrations with the students. The overarching theme of this lesson is that perception and sensation are not necessarily the same, and that optical illusions are a way for us to study the way that our visual system works. Furthermore, there are cells in the visual system that specifically respond to particular aspects of visual stimuli, and these cells can become fatigued. Grade Level: 3-12 Presentation time: 15-30 minutes, depending on which activities are chosen Lesson plan organization: Each lesson plan is divided into three sections: Introducing the lesson, Conducting the lesson, and Concluding the lesson. Each lesson has specific principles with associated figures, class discussion (D), and learning activities (A). This lesson plan is provided by the Neurobiology and Behavior Community Outreach Team at the University of Washington: http://students.washington.edu/watari/neuroscience/k12/LessonPlans.html 1 Materials: Computer to display some optical illusions (optional) Checkerboard illusion: Provided on page 8 or available online with explanation at http://web.mit.edu/persci/people/adelson/checkershadow_illusion.html Lilac chaser movie: http://www.scientificpsychic.com/graphics/ as an animated gif or http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/col_lilacChaser/index.html as Adobe Flash and including scientific explanation

Similar effects can be reached through different ways.

  • Visual Perception Glossary
    Visual Perception Glossary Amodal perception The part of an object that is not visible because occlu- ded can be amodally perceived. Amodal perception is different and one step removed from modal percepti- on of real or illusory contours. Apparent motion When an object is presented at two different locati- ons after a brief time interval observers perceive mo- tion. The fi rst empirical investigation was carried out by Sigmund Exner . His aim, as well as the subsequent work by Max Wertheimer , was in establishing that motion was a basic sensation. Attention Refers to the selective processing of some aspect of information, while ignoring other information. The sudden onset of a stimulus can capture attention, but people can also exert some control on where they di- rect their attention. Bi-stable stimulus A particular stimulus that can produce two percepts over time, even though it is unchanged as a stimulus. An example is the Necker cube . Brightness Brightness refers to perception of how much light is coming from a given surface or object. A brighter objects refl ects more light than a less bright object. However perception of brightness is not fully deter- mined by luminance (see Illusory contours). 192 Visual Perception Glossary Cerebral lobe The cerebral cortex of the human brain is divided into four main lobes. Frontal (at the front), occipital (at the back), temporal (on the sides) and parietal (at the top). Consciousness Sorry this is too hard, your guess is as good as mine. Cortex The cortex is the outer layer of the brain . In most mammals the cortex is folded and this allows the surface to have a greater area given in the confi ned space available inside the skull.

The afterimage always has colors that are complementary to those of the original image. Look steadily at the cross in the center of the picture to see an afterimage. Count the black dots Are the horizontal lines parallel or do they slope? How many legs does this elephant have? Do you see the face? Or an Eskimo? Do you see gray areas in between the squares?

  • Introducing the Scintillating Starburst: Illusory Ray Patterns from Spatial Coincidence Detection
    Introducing the scintillating starburst: Illusory ray patterns from spatial coincidence detection 1 2 Michael W Karlovich ​ & Pascal Wallisch ​ ​ 1 Recursia Labs. 2 Department of Psychology, New York University Abstract Here, we introduce a novel class of visual illusion, the “Scintillating Starburst”, which features illusory scintillating rays or beams. We show empirically what combination of factors modulate how an observer experiences this kind of stimulus. We explain how the illusion arises from the interplay of known visual processes, specifically magnocellular and parvocellular dynamics and relate the effects of these ray patterns to other known visual illusions such as illusory contours. Introduction Illusions have played a key role in understanding the principles of perceptual processing (Purkinje, 1825; van Buren & Scholl, 2018), although this notion is not entirely without detractors (Braddick, 2018; Rogers, 2019). One important reason why illusions can be helpful is that they allow us to distinguish the mere sensation of physical object properties from the perceptual experience. This is perhaps clearest in the case of illusory contours. If contours are defined by a sharp change in luminance, it is hard to tell whether the observer “directly” perceives objects in the environment “as they are” or if the percept is constructed in the mind of the observer, because the output of a photometer and perceptual judgments agree (Gibson, 1978; Fodor & Pylyshyn, 1981). Conversely, illusory contours are not defined by changes in luminance, and would be invisible to a photometer, whereas human observers readily perceive them. One example of this is Kanisza’s triangle, which most observers perceive as a bright triangle occluding three black circles - as opposed to the three black pac-man-like shapes are actually defined by luminance (Kanisza, 1955).

  • Ibn Al-‐Haytham the Man Who Discovered How We
    IBN AL-HAYTHAM THE MAN WHO DISCOVERED HOW WE SEE IBN AL-HAYTHAM EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS 1 Ibn al-Haytham was a pioneering scientific thinker who made important contributions to the understanding of vision, optics and light. His methodology of investigation, in particular using experiment to verify theory, shows certain similarities to what later became known as the modern scientific method. 2 Themes and Learning Objectives The educational initiative "1001 Inventions and the World of Ibn Al-Haytham" celebrates the legacy of Ibn al-Haytham. The global initiative was launched by 1001 Inventions in partnership with UNESCO in 2015 in celebration of the United Nations International Year of Light. The initiative engaged audiences around the world with events at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris, United Nations in New York, the China Science Festival in Beijing, the Royal Society in London and in more than ten other cities around the world. Inspired by Ibn al-Haytham, exhibits, hands-on workshops, science demonstrations, films and learning materials take children on a fascinating journey into the past, sparking their interest in science while promoting integration and intercultural appreciation. This document includes a range of hands-on workshops and science demonstrations, with links to fantastic resources, for understanding the fundamental principles of light, optics and vision. The activities help engage young people to make, design and tinker while better understanding the significant contributions of Ibn al-Haytham to our understanding of both vision and light. Learning Objectives ü Inspire young people to study science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) and pursue careers in science. ü Improve awareness of light, optics and vision through Ibn al-Haytham’s discoveries.
