Do we really see reality as it is? The 'Laboratory of the Mad Professor - Optical Illusions' shows that the human brain sometimes draws idiosyncratic or completely wrong conclusions - whether because it takes mental shortcuts or follows familiar patterns out of convenience. So people often simply see what their brain wants to see. With this experiment set, children from the age of eight learn all about different types of fascinating optical illusions and create them themselves, build a magic piggy bank and magic spinning tops - to name just a few of the many exciting experiments in this experiment set. In total, there are over twelve scientific experiments on the subject of optical illusions.
