I know it's slightly off topic but I've been fascinated with the idea of blind people having 'optical' illusions. Eg does the cafe wall illusion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Café_wall_illusion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Café_wall_illusion) work if you're blind and investigating a real cafe wall with that pattern using your fingers? Or are there other things that _do_ create perceptual illusions because of the different way blind people experience the world?
- ars 12y agoThe illusions mostly happen in the eye, not in the brain. So I don't think they will work for touch. The eye does not transmit "dots" of color to the brain, but rather processes images very much. Some of the "layers" that are transmitted are edge, motion, and color. So motion illusions happen in the eye.
