Illusion Sciences

Whoa! Trippy! Prepare to spend some time getting lost in these illusions!

Illusion Sciences is a blog by Arthur Shapiro, an Associate Professor at Bucknell University in the Department of Psychology and Program in Neuroscience. According to Arthur, "This blog is intended as a venue to discuss the “illusions” that I (and many vision scientists) create in order to study visual perception."

There's some really cool stuff to look at on here. I'd post links to the ones I like, but then I'd just start posting pretty much everything on the site. Just go check it out and lose yourself for a few minutes with these crazy illusions, and their very simple explanations!

Logólogos

Ok, I saw this a couple weeks ago, but this was really the first chance I had to post. Logólogos is a blog done by some Argentinian graphic artists. Really well done (though for some reason the cool header at the top isn't showing up for me today). They take logos and represent them using mathematical equations full of other logos. Some of my favs: Apple, Wikipedia, and Electrolux. Don't know spanish? Get it translated! Either way, check it out!
