Occlusion Theory

Occlusion Theory explains how our brain perceives depth and object relationships based on visual cues. When one object overlaps or blocks part of another, the brain interprets the partially hidden object as being further away. This visual cue, called occlusion, helps us understand spatial arrangements and depth in our environment. In essence, if something covers or obscure part of another object, we see it as behind, allowing us to make sense of complex scenes and judge distances accurately.
