Illusions: Misinterpretation Of Reality!

We often hear people say that life is an illusion. Well, some illusions do baffle you and make you doubt reality. The distortion of reality during perception is called illusion. The most common illusions are visual in nature.

2. MULLER LYER ILLUSION

This is an optical illusion where the second line appears to be longer than the first one but in reality or of the same length. The lines are perceived differently as the second line has arrow tails making it appear longer.

In this illusion, our eyes perceive a gray spot at all the points where the white lines intersect but if you look closely at one of the intersections the spot seems to have disappeared.

This is a spectacular illusion because the circles appear to be rotating but are in fact stationary. If you stare at a circle the movement seems to slow down or stop.

6. HERING ILLUSION

The two red lines seem to be bowed outwards but are perfectly straight and parallel. Created by Ewald Hering, a German physiologist who believed that the distortion was derived from the mind overestimating the angles at the points of intersection.
