Geometric Illusions

Kanizsa Triangle Illusion


Geometric illusions are visual phenomena that occur when the brain perceives a geometric shape or pattern in a way that differs from its actual physical characteristics. These illusions can be caused by a variety of factors, such as the presence of other shapes or patterns in the surrounding area, the use of contrasting colors, or the way that light is reflected or absorbed by the shapes.

Some common examples of geometric illusions include the Muller-Lyer illusion, the Ponzo illusion, and the Kanizsa triangle illusion.

These illusions can be used in art, design, and psychology research to better understand how the brain perceives and interprets visual information
