Beau Lotto: Optical illusions show how we see
This is a fascinating video which leaves me wondering, ‘What do we believe to be real, which is actually an illusion.’
What’s real anyway?

Absolutely fascinating! It’s the kind of thing that makes you wonder if “seeing really IS believing”!! Thanks for sharing!
Rosie´s last blog ..Something new!
It’s great isn’t it, Rosie. It got me thinking about assumptions we make about others, and particularly about our own capabilities. We say ‘that’s just the way I am’ and sometimes that stops us seeing the way we could be. So glad you enjoyed it. I’ve just taken a trip over to your blog and been stunned by the picture at ‘Something new’ – I’ve added your feed to my Google Reader.
Hi Jan
“Context is everything”… big statement.
And the video is brilliant. Not often I have the time to watch a video all the way through, but this one!
Having watched it though, I’ll have to sit down in a darkened room for about 15mins to think about it. LOL
Keith Davis´s last blog ..Practice, practice, practice…
Glad you enjoyed it, Keith, and thank you so much for commenting. So glad you enjoyed the video – the TED site is great for thought provoking stuff like that.
