  Illusion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An illusion is a distortion of a sensory perception.
Unlike an hallucination, which is a sensory experience in the absence of a stimulus, an illusion describes a distortion of a perception so it is understood and interpreted differently.
These "illusionations" are not hallucinations in the strict sense of the word since they are not novel fabrications of the mind but rather a distortion of what is seen and heard.

If you have ever gone to a science center which has a display of optical illusions, you might have watched people spending large amounts of time staring at and attempting to understand why they were perceiving the illusions that they were.
One optical illusion that holds an interest for me is the kind that uses background objects, lines, or other features to alter the appearance of foreground objects.

Step 2: Still sitting with your eyes about 8 inches from the animation, now look at a point about 1 inch from the left hand edge of the screen and note which direction the red dots are now moving.
The brain is trying to do that in this illusion; it's incorrectly binding color and motion so it can tell us that all the red dots are moving in the same direction throughout our "world," in this case the animation display.
The illusion breaks down if you stand several feet away from the monitor, and watch the illusion (a long mouse cable or a friend is necessary to do this.)

 Visual Illusions Gallery : Index
Illusions in visual perception occur when experiences, which people report, do not correspond to physical measurements of stimuli.
The pattern of stimulation on each of your curved retinas is a trapezoid curved in the x, y, & z-dimensions, but the door shape is rectangular.
Illusions are instances which lack correspondence and these instances can be very informative in helping us to understand how we are structured, how we function, and how we can best represent the world around us.

 The Moon Illusion
We use this model as a real-time reference surface for objects too distant for stereoscopic distance cues, even when there are no other cues in the visual field to serve as distance benchmarks.
Proponents of this hypothesis as explanation of the moon illusion argue that if there are a number of distant objects in the field of view, as there would be when observing the rising or setting full moon, the brain adjusts accommodation and convergence to them.
Understanding the sky illusion may be the key to understanding the moon illusion, but to merely invoke the sky illusion as the cause of the moon illusion evades the fundamental issues, and is empty of content.

 Poggendorff Illusion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
This illusion was discovered in 1860 by physicist and scholar JC Poggendorff, editor of Annalen der Physik und Chemie, after receiving a letter from astronomer F. Zöllner.
In his letter, Zöllner described an illusion he noticed on a fabric design in which parallel lines intersected by a pattern of short diagonal lines appear to diverge (Zöllner’s illusion).
Whilst pondering this illusion, Poggendorff noticed and described another illusion resulting from the apparent misalignment of a diagonal line; an illusion which today bears his name.
