Optical Illusion - Hand Hole Optical Illusion - Money
Scientists use optical illusions to study how the brain allows
itself to be tricked. Can you be fooled? Try an experiment and
see.
A piece of paper 5 inches (13 centimeters) square Tape
Roll the paper into a tube about an inch (2.5 centimeters) wide,
and secure it with tape. Hold the tube up to one eye. With your
palm facing you, place your free hand about an inch from the end of
the tube. With both eyes open, focus on an object across the room.
It appears that youíre looking at the object through a hole in the
middle of your hand!
One eye sees the distant object through the tube. The other eye
sees the palm of your hand. Your brain combines the two views to
create the optical illusion.

of the glass you’ll see a larg- er coin!
