Visual illusions can serve as a powerful medium to know how the brain works to perceive reality. Optical illusions help to gain insights into the mechanism of visual processing, including how the brain interprets depth, motion, and spatial relationships. In essence, optical illusions are not just visual tricks.

Optical illusions often occur when the eyes send incomplete information to the brain. The brain then tries to fill in the gaps, potentially leading to a misinterpretation of the visual scene. For example, in ambiguous illusions, the brain can perceive the same image in multiple ways, as seen with the Necker cube. Optical illusions can also trick the brain into misjudging distances or sizes, as seen in the Ponzo illusion.

So you see how optical illusions can be a window into understanding the complex and fascinating way our eyes and brain work together to create your visual experience. Here is one optical illusion challenge that asks you to spot the mistake in just 5 seconds.
