The inherent limits and interpretive inclinations of the human visual system are exploited in these visual puzzles,
which result in the creation of illusions that test our comprehension of what we see.
Optical illusions are those that play tricks on our perception, revealing the intriguing complexity of the brain's processing of visual information.
These illusions can range from ambiguous figures that can be read in various ways to geometric patterns that defy logic.
In order to develop effects that deceive the observer into perceiving something that is different from the objective reality,
the illusions frequently rely on the principles of perspective, color, and contrast.
Researchers that are interested in the complexity of visual perception and cognition can benefit much from the use of optical illusions,
