Some explanation to the Einstein to Marilyn Monroe morphing pict we saw in class. Type of Hybrid imaging.
"How did this work? When our eyes see the details when we get closer, it changes our perception of the image! I shared this with many of my friends including my buddy Niel. Update: From the comments, we should take time to credit Aude Oliva, Ph.D. who is the creator of this fine work. I had a great time visiting the MIT museum and encourage you to check it out too!"
"It's actually because of something called "top down processing.” Top down processing is when you brain changes what you see because that’s what it thinks it should see. Basically, when you loose enough detail to make it look like Harry Potter, it fills in the gaps. The same theory applies for when they all look like Einstein. The camera cannot be fooled because it doesn't have a brain. " http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeremiah_owyang/1509444609/

Your typo #5 is technically a repeat of one i found, therefore does not count.
Also, Your typos #6 and 7 aren't typos, either.

Thats point #2
Theresa
