  • Фантастические оптические иллюзии (Fantastic Optical Illusions)

    Art Skola

    Иллюзии учат нас тому, как мы воспринимаем вещи и явления, и показывают нам швы в ткани реальности, которую мы создаем (или воссоздаем). В этой книге вы встретите увлекательную подборку наглядных загадок, которые предстоит разрешить, и примеров оптических иллюзий, созданных ради опытов или созерцания.

    Иллюзии учат нас тому, как мы воспринимаем вещи и явления, и показывают нам швы в ткани реальности, которую мы создаем (или воссоздаем). В этой книге вы встретите увлекательную подборку наглядных загадок, которые предстоит разрешить, и примеров оптических иллюзий, созданных ради опытов или созерцания.
    Большую часть головоломок придумали авторы, а ряд других или адаптирован на основе малоизвестных примеров, или опирается на недавние исследования, проведенные ведущими специалистами в области когнитивных нейронаук. Финальным штрихом мы приводим список классических оптических иллюзий, открытых учеными и художниками XIX–XX столетий.
    Лучший способ понять, как работает иллюзия, — испытать ее вместе с друзьями и создать ее вариант, и, если все получится, значит, вы поняли тайный механизм. Надеемся, что потрясающие иллюстрации на страницах этой книги станут для вас источником вдохновения и грядущих открытий.
    Весь мир — театр, но занавес в нем может подняться в самый неожиданный момент.

  • These Patterns Move, But It's All An Illusion

    Smithsonian Magazine, issue September 2013

    Focus on the ball at the center of the image above. The scene appears to vibrate. If you move your head slightly forward and backward, the color fields of the rosette appear to pulsate.

    Scientists have several theories about how our eyes and brain collaborate to create the illusion of movement—although the precise neural mechanics remain unknown. Still, what we do know makes it possible for artists such as myself to design visual pranks.

    Focus on the ball at the center of the image above. The scene appears to vibrate. If you move your head slightly forward and backward, the color fields of the rosette appear to pulsate.

    Scientists have several theories about how our eyes and brain collaborate to create the illusion of movement—although the precise neural mechanics remain unknown. Still, what we do know makes it possible for artists such as myself to design visual pranks.

    This vibrating rosette combines several illusory effects. To begin with, when we fixate on a pattern, it momentarily remains on our retinas as an after-image. One theory is that small, involuntary eye movements cause this ghost image to overlap with the image on the page. The result is what’s called a moiré effect: similar, repetitive patterns merged together at slightly different angles, creating a rippling effect. I enhanced this effect by adding two high-contrast colors, blue and yellow.

    Also, when we approach an object, our brain normally makes adjustments so that the object’s size and brightness appear to remain constant. But when you move your head back and forth, the alternating dark and light patterns in my rosette seem to change in both size and brightness. One possible explanation is that our visual system cannot bring the blurred boundaries within the image into focus, and our brain cannot adjust.

    Seeing is believing—except when the mind can be tricked into believing what it sees.

    What’s real? What’s not? Reality is strange—and seeing isn’t believing. When you look at an optical illusion, your brain tries to fool your eyes and what you expect to find on the page isn’t what’s there.

    Apart from being both endlessly fascinating and awe-inspiring visually, these illusions also force viewers to go outside their comfort zones, challenge the nature of perception, and think creatively. Their minds have to work overtime to become more flexible. That’s what makes these 240 puzzles, ranging from simple scintillation effects to impossible staircases and concealed creatures, so absolutely addictive.

    See how Santa "measures up" to his helper; the scale doesn’t seem to be telling the truth! Compare two lines: one seems longer, but can’t that really be true? Look at a triangular sculpture and figure out if it’s "impossible." Move a picture from side to side and watch it spin. Try to "remove" a magic glass from the plate, count the number of "F"s in a line (but only read it once!), and locate the main subject in the masterpiece "Las Meninas," painted by the artist Diego Velazquez.

    This collection of illusions will enable you to experience the impossible and marvel at the miraculous.

    青岛出版社 (Qingdao publishing)

    什么是视错觉?
    有时大脑会欺骗我们的眼睛。当我们看到的图像和我们预期的不同时就会产生这种情况。例如,当你回想一个眼前并不存在的事物,或对眼前存在的事物产生了错误的认知时,视错觉便产生了。几个世纪以来,科学家一直在研究视错觉,希望借此了解大脑的工作情况。然而,迄今为止人们产生的大多视错觉现象仍未得到科学的解释。
    即使是最简单的几何错视图也能产生强烈的视觉效果。其中一个典型的例子就是意大利数学家卢卡·帕乔利在1510年出版的《数字的力量》一书中提到的T形错视图。水平线条和垂直线条其实长度是相等的,然而垂直线条看起来更长。在阅读本书的过程中,你会发现有些视错觉是无法避免的,有时候即使你很清楚自己看到的并不准确也无法改变。
    第一个大错觉
    人类产生的第一个大错觉就是认为存在一个能感知的独特的世界。人类认为我们的思维和世界是密不可分的,正是思维让这个世界有了意义。我们的思维就是我们的世界。事实上我们脑中构建出的这个世界和现实中的世界并不完全一样,这只是我们的思维产生的错觉。

    人类产生的第一个大错觉就是认为存在一个能感知的独特的世界。人类认为我们的思维和世界是密不可分的,正是思维让这个世界有了意义。我们的思维就是我们的世界。事实上我们脑中构建出的这个世界和现实中的世界并不完全一样,这只是我们的思维产生的错觉。
    所有生物,不论是人类还是动物,都生活在自己主观构建的世界中,符号哲学家称之为客观世界。生物通过感觉器官与外界联系,从而形成了对外部世界的认知。因此,对生物有一定意义的特定刺激会使主体产生特殊反应。
    举个简单的例子,最基本的感觉机器恒温器可以感知一个房问内的温度,如果室温和设定温度相差过大,恒温器就会自动运行,保持室温恒定。恒温器的感知能力是最基本的,它只能感知一个变量,即温度变化,它仅可以做出两种评估:“温度太低”和“温度升高,达到设定温度”。可以这样说,“温度”就是恒温器的客观世界,它与外界的交流只有“温度太低”和“温度升高,达到设定温度”两种形式。这只是一个简单的比喻,生物的知觉系统比这要复杂得多。生物可以感知各种不同变量,可以做出不同的评估,每一种评估都会引起特定反应。
    由此看来,我们生活在同样的世界中,但不同种类的生物感知到的世界是不同的。这些独立的“现实”和我们并存于平行的空间中。对一种生物至关重要的事物对另一种生物来说可能根本不足挂齿,反之亦然。同样的风景在人类、猫和鸟儿看起来各不相同。
    经济性——少即是多
    钢琴家弹钢琴的时候,总是用一只手弹和弦,另一只手伴奏。在人类的感知过程中,视觉就扮演着和弦的角色,其他感官则是伴奏。每种生物都有自己的感官“节目表”,每种生物喜欢的“节目”各不相同。例如人类喜欢视觉,狗喜欢嗅觉,一些蛇喜欢味觉,蝙蝠喜欢听觉。为什么大自然不赐予我们其他更厉害的感觉能力?这是因为我们的感觉和我们感知到的世界息息相关。有没有超能力并不重要,重要的是我们所具有的感觉能力要适应自身的生物特性。例如辨别颜色对我们而言十分重要,区分红绿颜色有助于我们的祖先寻找食物。学会从绿叶中找出熟透的红色果实十分重要,因为熟透的果实富含蛋白质,同时更容易消化吸收。猫无法区分红色和绿色,但它们的夜视能力很强,因为猫是夜行性捕食者。
    对生物而言,行动力比感知力更重要。在大自然中,某种感觉器官的缺失算不了什么,真正重要的是要学会感知外界不可或缺的事物,同时迅速果断地作出反应。如果我们多长双眼睛,或者感觉能力更强,我们的大脑就太忙了,我们每天要花费大量时间分析外界的刺激,根本无法果断行动。有时候精简信息比拥有庞杂的信息更有用。因此,忽略并过滤掉外界的一些信息更有利于我们生存,也更有利于我们享受生活。
    正是因为视错觉的存在,所以有时感知力的经济性更有利于我们生存和生活。

    Ce livre naît d'une exigence concrète : proposer aux esprits curieux, aux enseignants et aux élèves de tous niveaux, du collège au lycée, un point de vue ludique sur les mathématiques en réunissant en un unique volume des idées originales pour des activités ou des ateliers de mathématiques basés sur la magie et l’illusion. Toucher, plier, découper, ajuster, coller, font partie du processus créatif. Les auteurs affirment même que le fait de pouvoir interagir directement sur les formes est un des plaisirs les plus simples et les plus indispensables à

    The Lega del Filo d'Oro has a strong commitment to research and development. The Association has, in fact, set up a Research Centre in Osimo for the psychopedagogic and technical-rehabilitation sectors. On request from the rehabilitation services and according to the needs of the users, the Centre plans, designs and does trials on methods and tools offering support for the deafblind and multisensory impaired which can help them integrate into their context and, if possible, attain their own level of autonomy. There is also an intense, constant communication and interaction with the scientific and university worlds. The Technical-Scientific Committee has worked with them for over 20 years to identify research topics in the biomedical, psychopedagogic and technical-rehabilitation fields and to encourage a scientific approach which leads to uniform and coherent ways of working. Among the projects currently being carried out by the Research Centre is an examination of solutions for those with severe motor problems. This has led to the development of technology like microswitches which have been designed to aid ambulation, improve the range of responses, enable vocal expression and encourage self-determined behaviours.
