Fooled Ya!: How Your Brain Gets Tricked by Optical Illusions, Magicians, Hoaxes & More Hardcover – September 12, 2017

The book abounds with Breath-taking pictures depicting the brain with easily described text about the functioning of its various components.. It combines humor and serious accounts so that both researchers and beginning readers will find it enticing.. The headings and sub-heads ("magic tricks," "ventriloquism,", and "optical illusions") indicate something of the flavor of the unfolding mystery that integrates emotion and cognition.

A really fun, brain tickling book!

An amazing collection of facts and stories about the mysterious brain, optical illusions and your senses. Fun and interesting.Or maybe I was fooled! Maybe I just read a book about welding or gardening and, somehow, the author cleverly tricked me into thinking this book was about illusions and the brain... nah! It WAS about the brain. Great book.

Having known the author for about 4 years as he is a good customer of mine and we got to know one another. Mr. Brown knowing I have 2 young girls gave me a copy signed for them and all. Now I’m not giving this review such a good review other than the fact that my 11yo daughter hasn’t put it down since her older sister had it for a week. I’ve actually read some of it with my little one and we have a great time with all tricks. Highly recommended if you have a child 6-13 maybe more as I know my niece and nephew who are both younger and older also enjoy the book as well.

I loved this book. When I taught psychology, it was always important that my students learn to think critically, question the assertions of others, seek evidence to support their own beliefs. In today's world, when scammers and con artists hold power and influence, it is more important than ever for kids to learn these skills. Filled with puzzles, fun facts and quizzes, magic tricks and optical illusions,simple experiments to do on their own, delightful illustrations and LOTS of humor, this timely book not only helps inoculate them against attempts to deceive them, it gives them a whopping good time while doing it.
