2019.07.16
Meiji Institute for the Advanced Study of Mathematical Sciences is an international research center on the subject of mathematical analysis of social and natural phenomena. One of the research themes is clarification of the familiar and mysterious phenomenon “illusion.” In this exhibition, the surprising trigger of the start of illusion research will be shown, what is illusion will be thought, and the social significance of researching illusion will be clarified. In addition, concrete mathematical models of 3D illusion will be presented, and you can see a lot of illusions found by simulation.
