If so, I wonder if those people have any other traits in common?<BR/><BR/>I'm particularly interested because my take on it is, as a trained visual artist, I'm in the business of seeing, and to draw illusionistically (or create an illusion by other means), I have to see without illusion. I wonder if all people with a strong drawing training would have a similar experience.<BR/><BR/>I noticed at art college that although I was with extremely bright people, most of them were dyslexic to some degree. And since my training I respond to written language differently too.<BR/><BR/>I'd really love to know if there's any been work done on the effects of training on (especially visual) perception. Maybe you would kindly post an answer to the board, or some links relevant to these questions?<BR/><BR/>And thanks for this fascinating site!Barbarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06212222403495428775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606757687386980260.post-46277158545384688592008-09-26T04:50:00.000-04:002008-09-26T04:50:00.000-04:00great post.

This should be evident by looking at the illussion where the background is stationary.opiatedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15171758122253242641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606757687386980260.post-15682230013550157672008-09-05T14:10:00.000-04:002008-09-05T14:10:00.000-04:00I notice that the spinning bars in the background change size--they are widest when they are horizontal. Is this necessary for the illusion to work?kipnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606757687386980260.post-4975507914086294122008-09-04T15:39:00.000-04:002008-09-04T15:39:00.000-04:00No need to apologize.
