Abracadabra. Illusion and science

Become the star of the movie The Fly, practice teleportation, see levitate a large gear, grow and diminish as did Alice in Wonderland ... Visitors to the exhibition CosmoCaixa Abracadabra in Madrid will experience all these illusions, and many more, created by the senses.

The brain is a factory of dreams. But what is an illusion? It is a product mental result of sensory and cognitive phenomena, a combination of what is perceived reality and what is expected of her. Our brain is responsible for this process.

Create an illusion is to prepare all the ingredients to make possible the perception of a reality unlikely. In this task, involving the most varied disciplines such as psychology, communication skills, performing arts, physics, chemistry, architecture, engineering or math. Science and technology work together to create a world of illusions. Abracadabra

organized by the Obra Social "la Caixa" shows the scientific basis of illusion and invites you to know how to get the feeling that the impossible becomes probable before our eyes. In the sample, fully interactive experiments and tricks are not lacking. This magical tour can be enjoyed in CosmoCaixa until February 2012.
