It is the brain that has problems in interpreting apparently contradictory inputs from the eye.

Do your eyes see the optical illusion or does your brain see the illusion?
both because the eye sends the pic to your brain
How does refraction cause an optical illusion please answer?
Optics is the study of how light (moreso Electromagnetic Radiation) travel and interact with objects (solid state physics, electrodynamics etc.). Optical illusions deal with how light is interpreted by the human brain. So optics studies how light gets to the eye, optical illusion is about how the brain perceives that light.
Why do you see optical illusions?
The reason you see an optical illusion is because different parts of the eye see images at different rates. That can also end up as a false image being sent to the brain.
A room whwre the furniture is on the ceilings and floor why is climbing a ramp with a slight incline so hard to climb is it air pressure or optical illusion?
An optical illusion (also called a visual illusion) is characterized by visually perceived images that differ from objective reality. The information gathered by the eye is processed by the brain to give a percept that does not tally with a physical measurement of the stimulus source. There are three main types of illusion - literal optical illusions that create images that are different from the objects that make them, physiological illusions that are the effects on the eyes and brain of excessive stimulation of a specific type - brightness, tilt, color, movement, and cognitive illusions where the eye and brain make unconscious inferences. for mine
What is the main cause of an optical illusion?
I believe we have optical illusions to make our eyes and brains think in different ways then they normally think! Without optical illusions, we wouldn't look at things the way we look at them... i guess(?).
What the name of the nerve that carries the image from the eye to the brain?
optical?
What are the detailed lines in an eye's iris?
An optical illusion, like a magic picture. If you stare at them really hard they will disappear.
How does Magnetic Hill work?
It is an optical illusion. The human eye jst makes it look uphill
Does shape have anything to do with optical illusions?
Yes. Science is the study of how and why things do as they do. Optical Illusions are ways to trick your brain into perceiving something in a way that its not. Knowing how and why Optical Illusions do that is all science.
Entertaining your Mind with Optical Illusions?
Optical illusions are pictures that use color, patterns, and light to trick the eyes and brain. When viewing an optical illusion, what the eyes see is interpreted by the brain, but the brain's interpretation does not match the true image. In fact, the brain sees something that is not really there. Optical illusions are fun to look at, but they also help scientists to learn how the brain works. Many optical illusions were created just to study how the brain processes visual information. There are three basic types of optical illusions: literal, physiological, and cognitive. Literal optical illusions form images that are unlike the objects that create them. The best way to understand a literal illusion is to look at one. An example of a literal illusion is the painting Bakery by Octavio Ocampo. In this painting, a woman sits in front of shelves full of bread in a bakery. However, the way the bread is arranged appears to form skulls. Another famous example of a literal optical illusion is the painting All Is Vanityby Charles Allan Gilbert in which a woman sitting at a vanity table looks like a skull when viewed from further away. Physiological illusions happen when excessive stimuli such as brightness, color, movement, or tilt, for example, cause the eyes or brain to see something that is not there. These illusions can also occur when stimuli compete. The Hermann grid illusion is a famous example of a physiological optical illusion. The Hermann grid is a white grid on a black background. When looking at it there appear to be gray dots at the intersections of the white lines, although in reality there are no gray dots. This is due to a physiological phenomenon called lateral inhibition which is when light and dark photoreceptors compete with each other and one part wants to become active and the other does not. This causes a perceptual illusion of gray dots on the grid. Cognitive illusions occur when the eye and brain make unintentional inferences. There are four types of cognitive illusions: ambiguous, distorting, paradox, and fictional. Ambiguous illusions offer two interpretations of a picture or object, but both can't be seen at the same time. A famous example of an ambiguous illusion is the Rubin vase, which either looks like a white vase or two face silhouettes facing each other. Distortions in length, size, and curves appear to be present in distorting illusions. A famous example of this type of illusion is the arrow illusion, otherwise known as the Mueller-Lyer illusion. In this illusion there are two lines that are the same size but one has the ends pointing in and one has ends pointing out; most people say that the line with the ends pointing in is longer. Paradox illusions are objects that are impossible in real life but look real in drawings, such as the Penrose stairs, which seem to go on forever without getting any higher. This illusion is due to the faulty belief that adjacent edges have to meet. The Penrose triangle is another example of a paradox illusion. Fictional illusions are only seen by a single person; they are actually hallucinations. They can be induced by alcohol or drugs, or by health conditions such as schizophrenia. Examples of fictional illusions are seeing double of one object or seeing something move when it really doesn't. Literal, physiological, and cognitive illusions all deceive the eyes and brain. People have been fascinated by optical illusions throughout history, and continue to be fascinated by them today. Paintings, books, and drawings of optical illusions have become famous because they are fun to look at; however, they also help scientists to discover how the brain works. Fun and science often go hand in hand.

When your eye sees an object your brain breaks the image into which of these four parts?
When your eye sees and object the light , reflected from the object, enters the eye. There it is focused, converted into electrochemical signals, delivered to the brain and interpreted as an image.

funnily enough its an optical illusion and looks to the human eye like a squirrel
