What is an Illusion?il·lu·sion (-lzhn) noun

•illusions that deceive the human visual system into perceiving something that is not present or incorrectly perceiving what is present.

Page 3: New illusions

The Human brain put images together because it has learned to expect things; sometimes the data might get a little confused.

We may see an illusion because we know what we are expected to see, even though part of a picture or design may not be completely there. The basis of this is in how we perceive things.
