20 examples of how skillfully the brain can deceive perception (21 photos)
Our brain is a master of illusion, constantly constructing and interpreting our view of the world.
This collection of optical phenomena, where static objects pretend to be moving, parallel lines stubbornly strive to meet, and a color photograph persistently pretends to be black and white, clearly demonstrates this. Don't rush to clean your glasses or double-check your screen settings. This isn't a glitch, but a brilliant play of perception. Try to unravel how these optical illusions work, and you'll realize that the visible world is far less obvious than it seems.
