Gregory (e.g., Gregory, 2009), by discussing specific visual illusions and how they can help us to understand the magic of perception.Ībout the Veridicality of Perception The Relationship Between Reality and Object The present paper strengthens this line of argument, strongly put forth by perceptual pioneer Richard L. The main task of human perception is to amplify and strengthen sensory inputs to be able to perceive, orientate and act very quickly, specifically and efficiently. Illusions in a scientific context are not mainly created to reveal the failures of our perception or the dysfunctions of our apparatus, but instead point to the specific power of human perception. Furthermore, they let us analyze the cognitive sub-processes underlying our perception. It may be fun to perceive illusions, but the understanding of how they work is even more stimulating and sustainable: They can tell us where the limits and capacity of our perceptual apparatus are found-they can specify how the constraints of perception are set. 2Bamberg Graduate School of Affective and Cognitive Sciences (BaGrACS), Bamberg, Germany.1Department of General Psychology and Methodology, University of Bamberg, Bamberg, Germany.
