What are optical illusions?
Any illusion of sense of view, which brings us to perceive the reality erroneously.
Information collected by the eye is processed in the brain to give a perception that is not consistent with the picture.

Types of illusions
Literal illusions: create images which are different to objects.
Physiological illusions: effects on the eyes and the brain of excessive stimulation (brightness, inclination, colour).
Cognitive illusions: eye and the brain make interferences in an unconscious way.

Physiological illusions
Alterations in perception caused by structural or functional own perception system peculiarities.
The films, as the majority of illusions, are based on this kind of illusion.

Physiological illusions (cont.)
The Hermann Grid illusion and the Mach bands are two well-known physiological illusions, explained from Biology.
Dark blobs appear at the intersections. Notice the dark band that appears immediately to the right and the light band that appears immediately to the left of the middle strip.

Cognitive illusions
Divided in ambiguous illusions, distorted illusions, paradox illusions and illusions of fiction.

Cognitive illusions (cont.)
Ambiguous illusions: pictures or objects that cause alternative interpretations.
This is a well-known example .

Distorted illusions: distortions in the size, duration or curvature.
A notable example is the famous illusion of Müller-Lyer.

Paradox illusions: objects that are paradoxical or impossible.
The Penrose triangle is one typical example. The elefant illusion is also known

Illusions of fiction: objects that are not really there.
Also are known as hallucinations.
