The Greeks first used optical illusions. They built their temples so that the roof was skewed. This gave the chimera that the shrine was truly position straight. They in addition made the columns hump so that from a distance they would look flawlessly balanced. In the course of the past, people have encountered illusions in many ways. A lot of these illusions become visible in very ordinary, everyday experiences. Epicharmus and Protagorus both lived around 450 B.C. Epicharmus alleged that our senses (seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and touching) were not paying adequate consideration and were messing up. His exact words were, "The mind sees and the mind hears. The rest is blind and deaf." Protagorus went against what Epicharmus said. He thought that our senses and body were just fine. He supposed that it was the milieu that was messing us up. He said, "Man is nothing but a bundle of sensations."
Aristotle, who lived more or less 350 B.C., said both Epicharmus and Protagorus were both right and wrong. He said our senses can be trusted, but they can be easily fooled. For example, when it’s a very hot day and you stand near the road, heat waves rise and we can see them. Our senses are right, we can see the waves, but if you look through the waves at a tree, the tree appears to be wiggling. That is when our sense gets fooled. Another Greek was Plato. Plato lived around 300 B.C. He said our five senses need our mind to help understand what they see. In other words, that the eyes and mind need to work together. That is right what we think at present. (Croog)
A long time passed in anticipation of someone got into optical illusions yet again. In 1826, a psychologist Johannes.......
