Magic of Vision
Our lab will present a variety of interactive visual perception experiments for all ages to participate in. Through these experiments, we will demonstrate binocular vision, additive color mixing, the Stroop effect, our visual blind spot, multisensory integration, and persistence of vision. A variety of materials will be available, including instructions for each experiment, 3D glasses, spinning tops, rubber arms, and paper tubes. Each experiment is tied to a scientific phenomenon, and we hope to inform and inspire our audience!
