Watch the Einstein mask illusion:
Rachel and her children Eva and Daniel explore how our brains perceive faces by experimenting with a classic illusion.
In this activity, Eva and Daniel investigate what factors make this illusion work, and think about why our brains can be tricked in this way. Hands-on investigations like this are the perfect way to encourage children to think about how their brains work, and the way we interpret the world.
