Metal Print : Wundt illusion
Metal Prints From Science Photo Library
Wundt illusion
Wundt illusion. This illusion was created by the psychologist Willhelm Wundt in the 19th century. It is the exact opposite of the Hering illusion. It exploits the brains understanding of perspective to fool it into thinking that the two horizontal red lines bow inwards. In fact they are straight and parallel. This is achieved due to the presence of the grey lines radiating from 2 points. They give the appearance of depth, with the middle of the image appearing closer than the top. The brain compensates for this, and the illusion is created

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intriguing Wundt illusion, a remarkable optical phenomenon devised by renowned psychologist Willhelm Wundt in the 19th century. In direct contrast to the Hering illusion, this mind-bending trickery exploits our brain's understanding of perspective to deceive us into perceiving two horizontal red lines as bowing inwardly. Astonishingly, these lines are actually perfectly straight and parallel. The secret lies within the presence of enigmatic grey lines emanating from two points on the image. These cunning radiating lines create an illusory sense of depth, with the middle section appearing closer than its upper counterpart. Our astute brains instinctively compensate for this perceived distance discrepancy, resulting in this mesmerizing visual deception. As we delve into the realm of neuroscience and perception, this photograph exemplifies how our vision can be easily manipulated through ambiguous stimuli. It serves as a powerful reminder that what we perceive is not always an accurate representation of reality. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this illusory masterpiece for all to behold and ponder upon. Through their lens, they have brought forth a thought-provoking exploration into visual tricks and ambiguity that continues to captivate both scientists and art enthusiasts alike.
