How do optical illusions trick us?
What is: Perception
Or, if you're looking to describe a specific type of illusion...
Our eyes use light to gather information and send it to our brains. Our brains then make assumptions as to not waste time processing things we already know.
Literal illusions: We see bigger images based on smaller ones that make them up because we like to find meaning in things.
Physiological illusions: Some forms of this trickery can be induced by over-stimulating color, size, position, tilt, movement.
Cognitive trickery: we see based on what's familiar to us.
