Sinopsis
Excerpt from Visual Illusions: Their Causes, Characteristics and Applications
The connection between the material and mental in vision is incomprehensible and apparently must ever remain so. Objects emit or reflect light and the optical mechanism known as the eye focuses images of the objects upon the retina. Messages are then carried to the brain where certain molecular vibra tions take place. The physiologist records certain physical and chemical effects in the muscles, nerves, and brain and behold! There appears consciousness, sensations, thoughts, desires, and volitions. How? And, Why? Are questions which may never be answered.

Excerpt from Visual Illusions: Their Causes, Characteristics and Applications
Eventually one of the results of application to the analysis and measurement of the phenomena of light, color, lightning, and vision is a firmly entrenched conviction of the inadequacy of physical measurements as a means for representing what is perceived. Physical measurements have supplied much of the foundation of knowledge and it is not a reflection upon their great usefulness to state that often they differ from the results of intellectual appraisal through the visual sense. In other words, there are numberless so-called visual illusions which must be taken into account. All are of interest; many can be utilized; and some must be suppressed.
Scientific literature yields a great many valuable discussions from theoretical and experimental viewpoints but much of the material is controversial. The practical aspects of visual illusions have been quite generally passed by and, inasmuch as there does not appear to be a volume available which treats the subject in a condensed manner but with a broad scope, this small volume is contributed toward filling the gap.
