You live in a three-dimensional world. Your brain gathers data about depth, lighting, shading, colours, and position of objects from the visual information your eyes perceive. But when your eyes send incomplete information, your brain has to rely on past experiences or memory, and it leads to misinterpretation or deception. That is why it is a common notion that optical illusions play tricks on your vision.
For instance, when you look at a railway track. The tracks appear to run parallel and appear to meet in the distance. In reality, the tracks do not meet. Although your eyes perceived that the tracks merge. This misinterpretation or deception causes your brain to experience an illusion.
Optical illusions are images that play tricks on your eyes and confuse your brain. These are fun but also quite effective at understanding how your brain and eyes work in tandem to make sense of visual stimuli. Scientists have been studying optical illusions and how they work.
Many stated that illusions occur when your brain misinterprets the visual information sent by your eyes due to incomplete information. When the brain is unable to figure out the visuals, it relies on past experiences or memory to fill in the gaps. That is why optical illusions are effective at assessing your visual intelligence.
