Watch Brian Clegg, author of The Universe Inside You, explain why the human body is so fascinating, and what exactly your brain is doing when you look at two amazing optical illusions, in our video:

The Universe Inside You, sequel to the bestselling Inflight Science, explores how your eyes are quantum traps, consuming photons of light from the night sky that have travelled for millions of years; your many senses, which include the ability to detect warps in space and time; and why meeting an attractive person can turn you into a gibbering idiot. It is available now in paperback and ebook format.
