Akiyoshi Kitaoka is an associate professor of psychology at Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto, Japan. His site, available in English and Japanese, includes a variety of astounding optical illusions that will boggle and amuse you. Even better, many of the illusions include explanations as to why you're seeing what's not really there, such as movement when there is none, straight lines that look bent, and other tricks of the eye. Very fun. From This is True for 26 September 2004 Suggestions for further reading:
