- Optical Illusions and other fun stuff
Optical illusions occur as a result of how information is received through the eyes and how that information is interpreted in the brain. But how information is perceived depends on learned perceptions. When looking at optical illusions, the eyes are recording an image that the brain misinterprets. We now know that the brain likes to group things into patterns of familiar forms, it is always comparing things with its experience and knowledge of the world. Therefore, with optical illusions people's perceptions can be fooled when seeing something that lies outside their previous experience. We hope you enjoy our collection of optical illusions.
