(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 10, 2013 ) San Francisco, CA -- Everyone has a favorite magic trick. Whether a favorite is a large-scale illusion, ala a David Copperfield, or a simple parlor trick done by a friend for a good laugh, the opportunity to have one's perceptions fooled can be a delightful experience.
There are two very differing types of tricks that cause the same effect. Both make us believe one see something that is not, and not see what really is, leaving one wondering just how it was done.
And while magic has had a long history of pure entertainment failure, it has also been utilized for centuries as a way of assisting scientific research within the last hundred years. The use of illusion or magic has been utilized by cognitive psychologists as well as to treat paralysis. Many might wonder just how magic could be helpful in the fields of science, and the answer is less surprising as a well-crafted trick.
The use of magic dates back to Alfred Binet, a French psychologist who had an interest in the development of cinema, which lead him to creating frame-by-frame cinema. Binet also used the frame motion capturing to analyze movement through magic sequences in order to understand
the best way to deceive with magic. His article La Psychologie de la Prestidigitation, Binet noted optical tricks were at the base of all tricks, saying to perceive them could be quite as difficult as to count with the naked eye the grains of sand on the seashore.
At recent as 2010, Stephen Macknik and Susana Martinez-Conde coined term neuromagic within their publication Sleights of Mind.
Neurologically speaking, the movements that stimulates the brain function and gauge visual markers of motion are important to note. The one's case can differ from attention is an important aspect of magic that is used against an individual who is viewing magic tricks. Currently, those in charge of studying just such aspect so the mind are looking directly to magic to help understand that exploitation to better understand the mind. Questions such as: Why dont we see always something right in front of us? and Why do our eyes more easily follow curved rather than straight gestures across space? are questions that neurologists want to better understand.
And what better way to uncover the answers to these questions than to look to the one activity that exploits it more than any other: Magic.
