"Tricks of the brain: How Neuroscience explains the Illusions of Perception" is a popular science book about how the brain creates a picture of reality and why perception is so easy to direct in the right direction. Jordi Cami examines the connection between neuroscience and the art of focus, explaining what happens to attention, memory, and vision when a person sees the impossible. The publication is suitable for those who are interested in the work of the brain, the psychology of perception and want to understand why illusions act so convincingly. The focus is on the mechanisms by which the brain completes the world from incomplete sensory signals and already accumulated experience. The author explains where the blind spots of perception come from, why a person can look directly at an important detail and not notice it, and also how unreliable memory affects what we consider obvious. For this purpose, magic tricks and visual illusions are used not as entertainment, but as a way to show real cognitive errors. The book refers to popular science literature about the brain, attention, and the psychology of perception. The material is presented through clear examples of stage magic, so complex processes do not remain an abstract theory. As a result, reading gives not only an idea of illusions, but also a clearer understanding of how a person perceives the environment.
