Mind Illusions

I learned that our lens is perfectly clear and curved. Also, a person with perfect eyesight is susceptible to optical illusions. Our perceptions are influenced by our past experiences, imagination, and association. Our nervous system approximates color, shape, and dimension. In the 3rd Website, I learned that: The receptors in your eye and the rest of your visual system evolved for you to see things that are useful to behaviour. You don’t just see what’s there, you make a ‘best guess’ based on statistical probabilities of what you have experienced before.
