Because there is a form of inconsistency between the information that our eyes perceive and the information that is transmitted directly to the brain.

This deceptive experience was perfectly described by the famous image of the chessboard and the cylinder proposed by the British Edward Adelson in 1995. The optical illusion thus highlights a trompe l’oeil effect that disturbs the brain as it is faced with an unusual visual perception. , in the antipodes of his achievements. Since the 19th century, these tests have continued to multiply, so much so that scientists have been closely interested in the phenomenon of optical illusion to better analyze the brain faculties of human beings.
