 Visual Phenomena & Optical Illusions by Michael Bach are one of the best collections I have come through. They give both reality and variety. What is surprising about the visual illusions is how brainteasing some of them are. How one fails to notice the trick until they get through the explanation. It is also fascinating how some effects change after varying some factors such as the speed of movement.
My most favorite effect was the McCullough effect in the color section. I was impressed by this visual phenomenon because it is effortless to prove what was explained in the theory section. Unlike some illusions in the collection, this effect is long-lasting making it easy to understand.
Looking at the visual phenomena, it helps me understand the perception of the human brain better. It is intriguing how the brain manages to save an image or a color and reproduce it even after the attention of the eye has changed CITATION Bac15 l 1033 (Bach, 2015). The visual illustration can help in unraveling how the human brain processes and organizes stimuli that our sensory organs detect. They also help in understanding how some the various phenomena can affect the human memory.
The nervous system and the brain play a big part in determining how human beings feel, respond and behave. Social Behavioral Sciences and Human Services (SBSHS) deals with human behavior and interactions CITATION Bac15 l 1033 (Bach, 2015).

Understanding how the brain and the nervous system work together is, therefore, a fundamental part of SBSHS. As earlier stated, visual illusions can give us insight into sensory perception. Understanding optical illusions is, therefore, a handy skill in Social Behavioral Sciences and Human Services (SBSHS).
SPD (sensory processing disorder) is a disorder where the nervous system and the brain do not integrate received stimulus properly. Children with this disease either overact or underact to changes in the environment. Autism is also caused by irregular processing of stimuli by the brain and the nervous system. Children with autism exhibit abnormal social behavior and challenges with communication. Though both SPD and autism are neural system disorders, they are distinct. Most children who have autism suffer from SPD CITATION Bac15 l 1033 (Bach, 2015). However only a small percentage of children with SPD show symptoms of autism. Whether a child has autism or not, SPD manifests itself through irregular response to stimulation.
The method used in treating SPD depends on the unique needs of a patient. It depends on the senses which have an irregular response. SPD can be addressed by a sensory therapy, medication, or some lifestyle changes. Neural Therapy involves controlled stimulation of the patient’s senses. Lifestyle change entails regulating environmental stimuli to control their effects. For example, a child who overreacts to sound can use sound-blocking headphones.
