Abstract
The brain perceives not only what is seen by the eyes, but also processes experience and expectations to sometimes perceive not exactly what was seen. Magic tricks depend on the perception of the eye. Optical illusions and moving picture frames show that the eye can be tricked. The ability to detect movement is relative, but eyes can determine distance by working together.
