What benefits can you get from optical illusions?
Well, optical illusions help exercise your brain when ever you look at anything, but if you look at too many optical illusions it can really hurt you.
When were optical illusions created?
Optical illusions were first used by the Greeks. They built their temples so that the roof was slanted. This gave the illusion that the temple was actually standing straight. They also made the columns bulge so that from a distance they would look perfectly proportioned. In the course of history, people have encountered illusions in many ways. Many of these illusions appear in very common, everyday experiences.
What are the tricks used in optical illusions?
Most optical illusions mess with your natural inclination to predict things - our brain thinks they are moving, so tries to estimate how far the will travel. Others simply work around our senses being designed for 3D while displaying 2D images.
