Dear all,

Last month, the three best visual illusions in the world were chosen at
a gathering last weekend of neuroscientists and psychologists at the
Naples Philharmonic Center for the Arts in Florida. The winning entry,
from a Bucknell University professor, may help explain why curve balls
in baseball are so tricky to hit.
