Geometric Illusion

A geometric illusion is a visual perception trick that occurs when our brain misinterprets the shapes, sizes, or positions of objects due to their arrangement or context. These illusions often involve patterns or lines that, despite being identical in size or shape, appear different because of surrounding elements. For example, lines that are parallel may seem to diverge or converge when placed near contrasting shapes. These effects reveal how our brains process visual information, highlighting the gap between physical reality and our perception of it.
