Find an optical illusion (provide the illusion and/or a link to the illusion – it can be a video or a static image) and discuss how the illusion works – that is, explain how the illusion goes about “fooling” the visual system (this means that you will have to research the answer).

Ensure that you supply the source (either a link or a citation) for where you found the explanation of how the illusion works so that the rest of the class can read up on it. Make sure to discuss whether or not you feel that optical illusions signify a flaw in vision perception or simply demonstrate that vision is doing exactly what it is supposed to do? Why or why not? You must type a minimum of 250 words.
