Since everyone seemed to enjoy our Illusions Edition of the newsletter so much, I wanted to share these additional illusions as well.
These are some of the most incredible optical illusions that have ever "tricked your eyes." They were created by a noted genius in the field, Akiyoshi Kitaoka, who is Associate Professor of Psychology at the College of Letters, Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto, Japan. His books, "Trick Eyes" and "Trick Eyes 2," contain many of these works of art but are, unfortunately, only available in Japan: if you can read Japanese, you'll find them at Japan's Amazon.com site, where they may be able to ship internationally.
Remember, these images are not moving, they are static, but they really do appear to be moving. It is the most amazing thing I have seen on a computer screen in a long time. You will stare at these images for a long while in disbelief, and it’s a great way to give yourself some time to relax.
