I think it is really cool that our brain is using what we know to see things that arent really there! Just because we see things wrong doesnt mean we are incorrect in using our brain. We just take what we know and put it to our best use!

When people sometimes interpret an optical illusion incorrectly, they become disappointed, as though they got the question "wrong". According to the speaker in the video, your brain doesn't necessarly get the question "wrong", it just takes the information presented and presents an answer according to its capablities. Because of this, your brain does interpret things as it should.

The brain does not always see things as they are. If you look real close at what appears to be the back right post it is in front of the horizontal bars.

Wow that was really cool. I think that God made our brain like tht for a reason. Maybe to prepare oursleves for the worst or something important like that or maybe just for a little humor either one i think it is cool that he put so much design into us.

This was cool. I stared at the spinning circles and yes, the clouds were moving when the picture changed back to the clouds. The box and the nut were also too much to see.
