What is the optical illusion?

An optical illusion is an image that appears in our brain as a result of the attribution of different details and objects. There are several types of optical illusions: visual puzzle, geometric illusions, illusions of size, perspective and colors. You probably know some of them from eye test pictures. Most visual perception illusions are based on the functioning of the eye, the contradiction of different signals and on certain expectations and experiences of our visual system (eye, retina, optic nerve, parts of the brain).

The multiple benefits of visual challenges

Many scientists believe that certain optical illusions are triggered when information taken in by our eyes conflicts with how our brain interprets that information. Since he cannot make sense of what the eyes see, he then falls back on his previous experience, turning the unknown into something familiar.

You should know that these visual testing bring many benefits to our minds, from improving our intellectual performance to reducing the risk of cognitive deterioration. In addition to being fun and playful, optical illusions further help us demonstrate the intimate connection between vision and brain function. Therefore, it is no surprise that more and more people are happily enjoying this hobby anytime and anywhere thanks to Smartphones.
