visual illusion

A visual illusion occurs when the perception of an image or scene differs from the objective reality. Our brains interpret visual information based on patterns, context, and previous experiences, which can sometimes lead to misinterpretations. These illusions exploit ways our visual system processes light, color, depth, and motion, creating images that appear to move, change, or defy physical laws. Essentially, illusions reveal how our perception is a constructed experience, influenced by neural processing, rather than a direct reflection of the external world.
