What is an optical illusion?
If optical illusions have become so viral, it is far from trivial. Whether it’s a picture puzzle or a hidden animal, they are always very entertaining and fun to solve. The purpose of an optical illusion is to test your perception of a given image and to test your observation skills. Deceived by certain effects, the human brain can thus misperceive contrasts, shadows and the play of colors. As a result, you risk seeing something that isn’t actually there.
Our organ of vision, although essential to the perception of our environment, is not infallible. Indeed, it can sometimes deceive us and play tricks on us, especially when it comes to optical illusions. These phenomena fascinate scientists, who continue to study them in order to better understand and exploit their potential to improve human brain capacities. Importantly, it is the brain that receives sensory stimuli and is responsible for perception, which is why an image can be so easily misleading.
