The human brain processes visual information through a complex network of neurons in the visual cortex, which analyze features such as shape, color, motion, and depth to create a coherent perception of the world. Optical illusions, such as the Müller-Lyer illusion and the Kanizsa triangle, exploit these neural processes to create misleading perceptions of size, shape, or motion, revealing the brain’s tendency to make assumptions and fill in gaps in sensory information.
