"Visual Illusions" Where the Brain, Psychology, Mathematics, Computer Science, Art and Design All Come Together

Have you ever been deceived? Have your eyes ever "played tricks on you"? How certain are you of your perception of reality? Often, it is not the illusions we see that are tricky; rather, our perception of what is real is flawed. An illusion does not change; it does not create something that is not there (that is the job of a hallucination). An illusion is much different--it is something very real that makes us believe that what we see is something else. Are you ready to see what isn't really there?

Dr. Arthur Shapiro is an expert in visual illusions and has won international awards for his research on the subject. He has many publications on vision-related topics, and we have been fortunate as he has recently joined our faculty as a professor in the Psychology department. Come and see as
Dr. Shapiro shows us that which we may not understand...until he explains it.
