Illusion: Deceptive Perceptions
An illusion is a perceptual distortion that deviates from reality, leading to a misinterpretation of sensory stimuli. Often arising from the brain's attempt to interpret ambiguous or incomplete information, illusions challenge our perceptions. Visual illusions, like optical illusions, exploit the brain's reliance on context and expectations, creating misleading images. Auditory, tactile, and cognitive illusions also showcase the intricate interplay between sensory input and cognitive processing. Studying illusions provides valuable insights into the complexities of perception, revealing the brain's adaptive mechanisms and how it constructs our subjective experience of the world.
