Are your eyes playing tricks on you? They will when you look into your
Mind's Eye!
You'll never look at the world the same way again!
Astonish yourself with optical illusions as you explore the science of
human perception in this fascinating kit. Find your blind spot and watch
things disappear. Use special glasses to detect the errors in a counterfeit
bill. Spot the blood vessels in your eye. Make a curved line look straight.
Turn cardboard transparent. See the world shrink. Make white by mixing red,
green, and blue, and see colors in black and white!
Learn first-hand how your eye and brain work together to perceive color,
light, depth, perspective, size, shape and motion.
Conduct over 94 experiments, guided by the full-color, 100-page
Experiment Manual. Follow the engaging conversation between two young
experimenters, Lucas and Katherine, as you perform the experiments and make
discoveries alongside them.
