Happy Halloween Cat Crow

Hello World!
I hope you are having a spooktakular evening that is frighteningly fantastic! My Halloween post provision this year looks at cat crow, or crow cat, whichever way your vision falls

I like this picture because it is a real life illustration of vision science (my first field of study). Vision science is the physics physiology and psychology of how we perceive the world. There is no denying that our perceptions form reality and yet, they are barely real (vision is an interpretation, a reassembly   of stimuli into a new whole for the brain to act on or ignore as efficiently as possible). The same image sparks different initial impressions, and is subject to manipulation within and between individuals. A dark alley is much darker and a random shadow so much more frightening on Halloween when you are primed to see those things (as often one is with imagination and suggestions). Vision is pretty neat! Nothing scary there. Here is a more in depth article to enjoy, tricking the brain and treating the senses!
