What are optical illusions and how do they work?

Optical illusion are images or videos made to warp your sense of reality, making you believe you're seeing one thing when really it's something entirely different.

How do they work?

When you look at things your brain sends all the information to your brain, but when there are gaps in that information your brain will fill in the gaps.

This means your brain can fool you into thinking you're seeing something when it's not even really there.

Humans are evolved to do this because survival depends on reacting fast, so your brain will automatically try and work things out with whatever information it can get, no matter how small.
