Cheshire
Cat illustrates some of the things that can happen when each
of our eyes sees a completely different image. At this exhibit,
visitors look through a viewer at a friends face with
one eye while the other eye looks at a mirror on which is
reflected a white screen off to the side of the exhibit. By
sweeping a hand quickly over the white screen, the eye looking
in the mirror sees the motion. Motion is one thing that grabs
the brains visual attention; this distraction causes
the viewed friends face, or parts of it, to momentarily
disappear. The eyes and smile will usually be last to disappear.
