Can You Trust Your Eyesight?

Overview

What we ‘see’ depends on our sensory and previous experience and what we already ‘know’. Our ability to interpret what we see is strongly shaped by our prior knowledge, and this is why artists can ‘fool’ our senses. This set of slides provides you with images that can be interpreted in different ways. The final slides are mathematical.

See the activity guide for more details.
