Finding sources for the project

As a part of obtaining information about our study area, we went to Stockholms Stadsbibliotek to find books about the biological aswell as the physical properties of perception and the eye in relation to optical illusions.

The book we finally took with us is called:



VISUAL PERCEPTION

Physiology, Psochology, and Ecology

3RD EDITION

By: Vicki Bruce, Patric R. Green and Mark A. Georgeson



This book is not specificly about optical illusion, which might seem to have been the optimal, but describes the general theory behind ordinary visual perception. A deeper understanding in this area will, except from being part in our final product, help us understand why optical illusions work.
