Gestalt Principles: These principles describe how humans perceive and organize visual elements into meaningful patterns.
Examples include figure-ground relationship, proximity, similarity, and closure.
Neural Processing: Optical illusions often occur due to the brain’s attempt to interpret ambiguous or conflicting visual information.
This processing involves multiple areas of the brain, including the visual cortex and higher-order cognitive regions.
Contextual Cues: Our perception is heavily influenced by contextual cues, such as surrounding objects,
lighting conditions, and prior knowledge. Optical illusions exploit these cues to create perceptual distortions.
