The eight illusions I went though were Stepping Feet, Motion Induced Blindness, Stereokinetic Phenomenon, Rotating Snake, Snake ad lib, Pinna-Brelstaff Illusion, Motion Aftereffect, Spiral Aftereffect. I learn that if you stare at something for to long and then look away, whatever your now looking at is doing the same thing whatever you were staring at was doing. I also learned that you can get a headache very fast from looking at something for to long.
Something that surprised me was the motion induced blindness. I didn't know that the motion could induce blind spots. I actually found that really cool, as you looked at it longer the more the dots seemed to disappear. I think what I experienced changed my view on sensation and perception because I learned that the objects themselves weren't really moving. It was our eyes playing tricks on us. These experiences may affect me on a daily basis because now that I know my eyes can play big tricks on me like this. I think I'll have to maybe think a little more about whats happening around me.

I agree with you when you say that our eyes play tricks on us. I printed out the snake illusion just to make sure the computer wasn't turning them or animated them and sure enought my eyes were the ones making the circles move.
