Interview with Akiyoshi Kitaoka

In this episode I relate a written interview I had with Dr. Akiyoshi Kitaoka, a Professor of Psychology based in Japan. He does research on visual perception and makes visual illusions. His work embodies a fascinating combination of creative and technical aspects. I’d recommend viewing this episode on YouTube rather than as an audio podcast as there are many visual demonstrations.Color Mentor is on YouTube or your favorite podcast provider.Dr. Kitaoka’s website:https://www.ritsumei.ac.jp/~akitaoka/index-e.htmlWe discuss:(00:00) - Intro.
