Impossible shape, computer artwork

Scintillating grid illusion. This illusion, based on the Hermann grid, was created in 1994. When the grid is observed, the white dots at the intersection of the grey lines appear to scintillate

Square illusion - subdivision leads to apparent enlargement. There are three squares of identical area. However, the middle square appears to be wider than it is tall

Muller-Lyer illusion. The two lines with arrows at each end appear to be different lengths on the left. In fact they are the same length

Impossible rectangle. This is an impossible object - one that can be drawn in 2 dimensions but not created

Illusory contours forming circles. This illusion demonstrates the false perception of areas of increased brightness. Lines are apparently joined to bright circles. In fact no such circles exist

Freemish crate. This representation of an impossible cube is based upon the standard 2- dimensional depiction of a cube, but with some of the edges crossing in a way that could not be achieved in 3

Jastrow illusion. The bottom shape appears to be larger than the top shape. They are actually identical

Circle in a square illusion. The two red circles in the image are the same size. However, the one inside a blue square looks larger than the one enclosing a blue square

Hering illusion. This illusion was created by the physiologist Edward Hering in the 19th century. It exploits the brains understanding of perspective to fool it into thinking that the two horizontal

Bullseye illusion. The blue shaded area in the centre of the circle appears larger than the blue perimeter area. In fact they are the same area. This is easily proven by calculation

Framing colour illusion
Framing colours illusion. Black borders around colours enhance their brightness and prevent clashing. The colours in the pattern on the left appear to be brighter and bolder than those on the right

Poggendorff illusion. The two red lines crossing the blue bar are colinear. Many people see them as being offset. There are still no satisfactory explanations as to why this should be the case

Three arc illusion. The three arcs shown give the impression of belonging to circles of increasing radius when viewed from top to bottom. They actually come from circles of the same radius
