Do your eyes see the optical illusion or your brain see optical illusion?
Your brain does. You actually see with your brain; your eyes are merely the organs that deliver the image to your brain which then interprets what you're seeing.
Do your eyes see the optical illusion or does your brain see the illusion?
both because the eye sends the pic to your brain
What causes an optical illusion?
An optical illusion is something that appears real but actually isn't. All kinds of optical illusions can be generated with mirrors, overlapped negatives, photography, etc.
How an optical illusion works?
At first when the eyes will see only what they can see, but then then the brain will make the eyes see what there looking for.
What is it called when your eyes play tricks on you?
When you eyes play tricks on you, it's called an "optical illusion". Look it up online or on YouTube. You should find many optical illusions! :)
What is the 'Jesus Illusion' exactly?
Jesus Illusion is a mind teasing strangeness. To see Jesus Illusion in action, stare at the four dots in the middle of the image for about 30 seconds and than quickly stretch your eyes.
What are the 3d pictures that you have to refocus your eyes to see called?
It's called a stereogram. It's an Optical illusion (trick on the brain and eyes).
What is a situation in which the eyes can mislead you?
Seeing a desert mirage, or looking at an optical illusion are two situations were your eyes can mislead you. On a hot, shimmering day, you may see what looks like pools of water on the road surface ahead - an optical illusion as the road ahead is dry..
What are the names of optical illusion artists?
they are people who make pictures that make peoples eyes boggle.
What is the answer to the optical illusion No sex causes bad eyes?
The joke of that image is that if you cannot read it, you have bad eyes and therefore have not had sex for some time. Those that have had sex recently will have good eyes and be able to read the message.
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.

Why is it that when cars pass each other going a high speed you feel like to are being pulled towards them?
This is because of your eyes. It's sort of like an optical illusion, but it is just your eyes moving.
