Our brains perceive optical illusions as visual occurrences that deviate from reality. They possess the ability to delude us into perceiving a false reality or employ deceitful tactics to conjure nonexistent visions. Long ago, individuals would allude to such optical illusions as forms of sorcery, malevolent entities, or nefarious apparitions. However, researchers eventually ascertained that our minds deceive us through the complexity of different outlooks.

These illusions can be as basic as geometric forms that seem to be moving or as complex as photos that, when viewed from a particular angle, show hidden creatures or objects. Since ancient times, optical illusions have been employed to investigate and test the boundaries of human vision and thought. They never cease to amaze and confound us, serving us a constant reminder of the complex mechanisms within our own minds. The goal is to make visible what is hidden from view.
