Optical Illusions

Optical illusions play with color, light, patterns, and depth to create effects that trick our brains into seeing something that isn’t quite what it seems.

From classic illusions like the “impossible staircase” to motion illusions that seem to shift before your eyes, we explore how and why our perception can be fooled.

Whether you’re curious about the science behind these visual tricks or just looking to have some fun testing your perception, this page is a feast for the eyes and the mind. Dive in and see if you can trust what you see!
