Illusions

Illusions occur when our brain misinterprets sensory information, leading us to perceive something differently than it actually is. This happens because our brains use past experiences, context, and expectations to make quick judgments about what we see, hear, or feel. For example, you might see a straight line that appears curved due to surrounding shapes. Illusions reveal the complex ways our perceptions can be influenced and remind us that what we see isn’t always the full reality. They highlight the intricate relationship between perception and cognition, illustrating how our minds shape our understanding of the world.
