illusionary figures

Illusory figures are visual images that create a perception that differs from physical reality. They exploit how our brains interpret shapes, colors, and patterns, often leading to ambiguous or surprising effects. A famous example is the "Rubin's Vase," where viewers can see either a vase or two faces, depending on their perspective. These figures highlight the complexities of visual perception and how our mind fills in gaps, creating interpretations based on context. Illusions can reveal insights into human cognition and the ways our brains process visual information.
