This illusion works due to your brain using visual clues from the
world around us to keep our balance. As the vertical lines move,
your brain attempts to compensate for their motion, slowly
throwing yourself off balance. (Museum of Science, Art, and Human Perception, 2006).
Instructions
When light enters through the cornea, the cornea has the ability to refract
and bend the light rays. The iris shrinks and expands to determine how
much light enters the eye, and after passing through the iris, the light is
concentrated by the lens. The light is then focused onto the retina. The
retina has photo receptor cells that convert the light into electrical signals
that our brain can see.
Figure 2: The illustration above is the how light enters the brain
and eventually travels to the occipital lobe
The electrical signals travel down the optic track to the brain where the
brain comprehends what it is seeing at the time.
There are two different types of processing theories for the brain.
One of these is Bottom up processing is the process of gaining knowledge
of a topic by interaction and using your sense. (Gerrig, 2008) Top down
processing is having a prior knowledge of a task that has occurred more
than once . The identification of this is based on the past experiences
and from then on what should be seen. Top down allows judgments to
influence the stimulus and information.
The Push Over uses the theory of bottom up . This is due to the way
a participant will use there sensory data. From the participant using the
sensory data the results will be passed going upward and toward and
become more abstract .
Examples:
Top Down: An example would be if your parents are yelling or
have yelled at you to take the rash out. If they begin to yell at you to
take it out again you have prior knowledge of knowing their going to do
it so you take it out anyways to avoid getting yelled at.
