The Chekershadow Illusion

Bob Atkins did a nice write up on the Checkershadow Illusion.

It shows how easy our brains can be fooled into seeing what it's not there in reality. In this case, squares A & B look different, right? A is darker than B. Wrong! They are both the same.

Of course you don’t believe me. Check out Bob Atkin’s article for an explanation and the original by Dr. Edward H. Adelson for a detailed explanation.
