The Kuleshov effect

The Kuleshov effect is a very abstract form of optical (perceptual) illusion occurring at a level in which we interpret facial expressions in the context of what is happening around them. It was discovered by a soviet film maker in the 1920s. Fascinating I’m sure you’ll agree : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuleshov_effect

EyeSkills is a volunteer project by a group of experts, sufferers and enthusiasts who want to help the millions of people around the world with lazy eye, who have no access to any form of vision therapy. We are producing an open-source framework to allow the community and researchers in the field to use ideas from research in the field of neuro-plasticity and neural feedback to help people retrain their ability to use both eyes together successfully.

We are currently, and very kindly, being supported by the German Bundesministerium für Forschung und Bildung and the PrototypeFund.de. We have also, and also very kindly, been supported by Social Impact Leipzig and London’s EyeFocus accelerator.
