  2. Non-reversing mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-reversing_mirror

    Another type of non-reversing mirror can be made by making the mirror concave (curved inward like a bowl). At a certain distance from the mirror an inverted non-reversed image appears. A third type of non-reversing mirror was created by mathematics professor R. Andrew Hicks in 2009.

  3. Face inversion effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_inversion_effect

    A delay is caused when processing inverted faces compared to upright faces. This is because the specific holistic mechanism (see holistic processing) that allows faces to be quickly detected is absent when processing inverted faces. Only local information is available when viewing inverted faces, disrupting this early recognition stage and ...

  4. Upside down goggles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upside_down_goggles

    How a human looks blinking in upside down goggles. Under normal circumstances, an inverted image is formed on the retina of the eye. With the help of upside down goggles, the image on the retina of the observer's eyes is turned back (straightened) and thus the space around the observer looks upside down.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirrored-self...

    In a typical study, participants are placed in a hypnotic trance and are either told to see a stranger in the mirror or to see a face in the mirror that cannot be identified. [18] Those who are told to see an unidentifiable face in the mirror do not necessarily see a stranger; the participant may perceive the face as an unrecognizable version ...

  6. Mirage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirage

    The image is usually upside-down, enhancing the illusion that the sky image seen in the distance is a specular reflection on a puddle of water or oil acting as a mirror. While the aero-dynamics are highly active, the image of the inferior mirage is stable unlike the fata morgana which can change within seconds.

    User hence sees an inverted version of own body in mirror C, approximately at location DE Stratton went on to become a first-generation experimentalist in psychology. Wundt's lab in Leipzig, with experimental programs bringing together the fields of evolutionary biology , sensory physiology and nervous-system studies, was a part of the career ...

  8. Mirror image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_image

    A mirror image (in a plane mirror) is a reflected duplication of an object that appears almost identical, but is reversed in the direction perpendicular to the mirror surface. As an optical effect , it results from specular reflection off from surfaces of lustrous materials, especially a mirror or water .

  9. Flipped image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flipped_image

    Many large format cameras present the image of the scene being photographed as a flipped image through their viewfinders. Some photographers regard this as a beneficial feature, as the unfamiliarity of the format allows them to compose the elements of the picture properly without being distracted by the actual contents of the scene.
