Optical illusions: This is how it happens

The reason for optical illusions: On the one hand, the brain perceives sensory data from the eye. On the other hand, the brain has learned a lot in the course of life about what the world actually looks like. If the two do not go together, the result is an optical illusion: the brain misinterprets the sensory data provided because of the experience it has already gathered.

Now back to the photo that divides the network community - the resolution: opposite to the internet portal " BuzzFeed " the author of the photo said: "I had just finished my art homework and had some paint on my brush. So I just decided to paint a few strips, it shouldn't look shiny at all. ”

Many also find this optical illusion brilliant.
