Excerpt from Visual Illusions: Their Causes, Characteristics and Applications

The connection between the material and mental in vision is incomprehensible and apparently must ever remain so. Objects emit or reﬂect light and the optical mechanism known as the eye focuses images of the objects upon the retina. Messages are then carried to the brain where certain molecular vibra tions take place. The physiologist records certain physical and chemical effects in the muscles, nerves, and brain and behold! There appears consciousness, sensations, thoughts, desires, and volitions. How? And, Why? Are questions which may never be answered.
