Visual illusions are fascinating phenomena that trick our brains into seeing something that isn’t actually there. In the past, people often thought these illusions were caused by magic or supernatural forces. However, scientists later discovered that they occur because of the way our brains process what we see. Visual illusions are often created by cleverly blending objects, colours, and shapes to make hidden details appear or disappear.
