Optical illusions show how we see
How do we see the world and why do we see it the way we do? Is everything the way it seems to us? How does our vision work and how close is what we see to what's actually 'out there'?
Beau Lotto's color games puzzle your vision, but they also spotlight what you can't normally see: how your brain works. This fun, first-hand look at your own versatile sense of sight reveals how evolution tints your perception of what's really out there.
As per usualy a really entertaining TED talk with new insights and interesting quizes and tests, that makes one wonder.
About 17 minutes long.
