Your brain, not your vision can lie to you

It is about getting better...

Nat Geo Brain Games

Which has greater sway on what you see?  Your brain or your eye?  This much  learned from Nat Geo brain games.

Our eye's fovea has only 1/10 of the retina area dedicated to the focus of the images seen, yet 1/3 of our brain is  dedicated to vision.

Our vision is governed by many visual cues:  shadows, background, past experience, peripheral vision.

For instance the Beughet chair, and Ames room can be used and has been used by psychologists to trick many people.  Magicians, and Mr. Apollo Robbins has shown the secret of many magic and tricks as seen on TV.  The lights, the decor are diversionary and deceptive.

What we see are not what they seem to be
