Optical Illusions
Optical illusion are characterized by
visually perceived images that are deceptive or misleading. The
information gathered by the eye is processed by the brain to
give a percept that does not tally with a physical measurement
of the stimulus source. There are two main types of illusion -
physiological illusions that are the effects on the eyes and
brain of excessive stimulation of a specific type - brightness,
tilt, color, movement, and cognitive illusions where the eye and
brain make unconscious inferences. These optical illusion
pictures, animations, and videos below have been collected by
Maniac World over the years (don't worry - you won't find any
scary optical illusions that will pop out at you here):
