In a sense, all human vision is an illusion; the world we perceive is created on the retina and within the brain and is only a reflection of the real world. Our brains evolved in a natural environment and our visual processing systems are optimised for that context rather than the abstract geometric shapes that make up the modern world. These abstract shapes can trick our eyes and our brains, and in so doing reveal something about the nature of our perceptions. The work of Bridget Riley, a painter from the op-art movement who has been active since the early 1960s, addresses this aspect of perception and is on show in a major exhibition at the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh, UK.

视线展现了自己。

从某种意义上说，所有人的视野都是一种幻觉。我们感知的世界是在视网膜上和大脑内创建的，仅是真实世界的反映。我们的大脑在自然环境中进化，我们的视觉处理系统针对该环境进行了优化，而不是针对构成现代世界的抽象几何形状进行了优化。这些抽象的形状可以欺骗我们的眼睛和大脑，从而揭示出我们感知的本质。布里奇特·赖利（Bridget Riley）是一位来自欧普艺术运动的画家，自1960年代初期以来就一直活跃于此，他的作品致力于解决这一观念，并在英国爱丁堡皇家苏格兰学院的一次大型展览中展出。
