    Coarse or Fine

    One hand strokes a coarse sandpaper, the other hand strokes a fine sandpaper, then both hands simultaneously stroke a sandpaper whose grain size lies between the other two. For the coarse-grained hand, this sandpaper is perceived as finer, but for the fine-grained hand, the same sandpaper is perceived as coarse.

    Feeling Eyes

    An oval saucer is viewed through a lens that distorts only in one axis. Depending on the position of the lens, the saucer appears from ogival to completely round. If you now touch the saucer with both hands and look at it simultaneously, it actually "feels" round or ogival.

    Gentle Hands

    One hand strokes a coarse grid, the other hand strokes a fine grid, then both hands simultaneously stroke a grid whose mesh size lies between the other two. For the hand that is used to coarse, this grid is perceived as finer, but for the hand that is used to fine, the same grid is perceived as coarse.

    Hot - Cold

    Can something be hot and cold at the same time? We have no sensory experience for that and our temperature receptors give us crazy feedback! In this copper coil, one left third is hot, the other cold. The middle part seems to be insanely hot (or cold?) when touched with the whole palm of the hand. When touched individually, one notices that warm and cold windings alternate in a small space.

    Rising or Falling

    With eyes closed, stand on a platform and lean on the staff. The platform lowers slightly while the staff becomes longer, or vice versa. Our brain interprets this as large differences in height.
