      LOOK AT "CAMOUFLAGE CANS BY LIU BOLIN" This optical illusion is very interesting because you don't notice anything until you look at the bottom of the photo and see the shoes. If you move up from there until about three quarters of this photo, you'll see the head, the neck and the hands. This is very interesting because we can see how our eyes can play tricks on us and then see something that they hadn't seen before.

      The camouflage can illusion was mind blowing. I looked at the picture for at least a minute before realizing there was a person. I was amazed at how well the person could blend in to the background and wish they showed how the painter painted this.

      Wow thats really amazing. The camouflage artist is extremely interesting. Liu Bolin completely camouflages into the background by just painting himself. I find this is extremely good optical illusion because we can see exactly how are eyes play tricks on us. I was very impressed with how well he actually blended in with the background.

    Such a cool optical illusion ! It's really incredible how well the person blends in with the cans... Such a talented artist !

    What optical illusions there are. Some are kind of silly however, there are certain ones that truly put things into perspective.

    This was very interesting! It's a really cool optical illusion...and I agree with Catherine that you don't notice anything at first until you look on the bottom and then it really clearly shows! It took me a while to realize there was a person in the picture!

  • Schizophrenia in itself is a maladaptive phenomenon
  • genes for paranoia encourage a healthy defensiveness in threatening environments
  • the only substantial research exploring a positive social benefit for psychosis has focused on creativity.

      Creativity is definitely an advantage
  • Perhaps some of their executive problems, for example their problems with verbal fluency tests, can actually give rise to creativity?
  • general agreement that creativity involves the production of novel, useful products"
  • multi-trait, multi-method analyses
  • produce novel and quality ideas and products.
  • A schizophrenic's abnormal behaviour and communication styles may in fact lead to incredible and unique creativity,
  • over-inclusive thinking, would facilitate originality which, in optimum circumstances, would lead to creativity.
  • Nancy Andreasen (2006) and Kay Redfield Jamison (1994) have done, finding high levels of mood disturbance and disorder in their samples of creative writers and artists, supporting this link between psychosis and creativity
  • claims to link genius with madness.
  • DARPP-32
  • Three quarters of all people inherit a version of this gene; it then enhances the brain’s ability to think by improving the information processing in the prefrontal cortex.
  • his gene also shapes and controls the nerve circuit closely involved with schizophrenia, hence the connection between genius and madness.
  • This also suggests that schizophrenia may be the downside to an evolutionary change that improved our chances of survival and our fitness, by improving our intelligence and creativity.
  • He found that first-degree relatives of psychotic patients are found to be more successful in attaining recognition in several fields of intellectual endeavour than the general population of the area in which he studied: Iceland. He also found that the fields in which they attained recognition were areas of creative and scholarly excellence.
  • It could be perhaps that although psychosis can cause enhanced creativity, the patient is too inhibited by their condition to use it to their advantage.
  • The importance of creativity for mankind is undeniable

      This made me think of Horoscopes and how they seem to identify your personnality and anticipate your moves, decisions and thoughts according to your date of birth
  • Adler did document exceptions

  • birth order is sometimes not a major influence on personality development and that the child's opinion of himself and his situation determines his choice of attitude
  • mélange of two distinct sciences: sociology and psychology
  • Like all sciences, social psychology searches for concrete proof before belief
  • “the biologizing of human beings is not only bad humanism, but also bad science.”
  • study at Ohio State University conducted in the winter of 2001 showed that birth order affects career interests. In the Journal of Career Assessment, researchers noted that only children and first born children tended to have more cognitive and analytical interests, while those later-born were more artistic and outdoors oriented.
  • twenty-five types of marriages according to birth order
  • most common marital relationship is between an only child and a second child, and it has a fairly high rate of success, while first born-first born relationships seem to rarely happen. Firstborns are less likely to connect romantically.

      Number 1 My parent were both first borns and they had a Very healthy romantic relationship that shined bright with passion and two I am a Firstborn and i do not see how WE are "less likely to connest romantically"
  • seems to have no scientific proof
  • influence of being the first born of a specific gender, the influence of changing family dynamics, and the potential for methodical pitfalls in birth order research interest not only studies on birth order, but the research of many other social trends.
