One of the elements which provide the feeling of depth is tissue differentiation. Tissues closer to us can be observed in detail
while those further away appear less clearly. For example as we can observe from the picture on the side, a three dimensional
tissue has been created on a paper with the feeling of depth, and which seems to be embossed due to the use of color, shadow
and light. Even though all the dots are white in the picture to the left, they appear to be flashing in both black and white.

On the bottom right can be seen a three-dimen-
sional image on a building's wall.

The method that painters use in their

paintings is also valid for the image that
occurs in the brain. Depth, light and shade
are produced by the same method in two

dimensional space in the brain. The
greater the amount of detail in the picture,
the more realistic it appears and the more
it deceives our senses. We behave as if
there was real depth and distance, as if

there was a third dimension. However, all
pictures are like a film square on a flat sur-
face. The visual cortex in the brain is ex-

tremely small! The distances, the images
such as those of distant houses, stars in the
sky, the moon, the sun, airplanes flying in
the air, and birds – they are all crammed
into this small space. That is to say, there is

technically no distance between a glass
that you can hold by extending your hand
and an airplane that, if you looked up, you

would understand to be thousands of kilo-
meters above; all of them are on the single
surface, that is, in the sense center of the
brain.
For example, a disappearing ship on

the horizon is not actually miles away
from you. The ship is in your brain. The
window sill that you are looking at, a
