Ep 199: Depth Perception - How Your Brain Sees What's Not There

from Psychology in Everyday Life: The Psych Files · host Michael Britt

How do you create a sense of depth in a flat image?  In this video I'll show you how to use 5 principles of depth perception to turn a flat image into one that looks like it has depth.  I'll be drawing from terms you would learn about in a chapter from a psychology text on Sensation and Perception.  We'll have a little fun exploring how we can use what your brain expects to see to trick it into seeing what we want it to see.
