Fun Optical Illusions Website

Published by throwingmarshmallows at 12:55 am under Field Trips, Science, Fun Stuff

Someone on the Living Math email list forwarded a link to Shapirolab.net, a fun website focusing on optical illusions and patterns. Lots of information about why the illusions work and many have options where you can play around and change the illusion to test different effects.

This came at a perfect time as it ties in with a fun Brain Awareness program that Jason did a couple of weeks ago at the National Museum of Health and Medicine Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (at Walter Reed). One of the aspects of the brain that had been covered was optical illusions so this is perfect (I love when that happens!)

Enjoy!

    Thanks for linking to my website. I was happy to hear that you and Jason found the site useful, and that it integrated well with the Brain Awareness program. Please contact me via e-mail if you have questions about the illusions on the site.

    I too have children who are 6 and 9 years old, and we too are Terry Pratchett fans.
