A brief history of optical illusions

Over 2,000 years ago, Aristotle discovered something really interesting. He suggested that by crossing the index and middle fingers and touching an object such as a pen, the observer gets the sensation of two pens instead of one.?

In 5 B.C., Greek philosopher Epicharmus proposed that our senses, and not our minds, are responsible for misinterpreting?optical illusions. He postulated that while it is our minds that get deceived, they are not at fault for that happening, stating one of the most famous lines in our history, "The mind sees and the mind hears; the rest is blind and deaf."

Meanwhile, Protagoras disagreed with Epicharmus, arguing that the environment plays a huge role in how our physical senses interpret external information.

Plato's perspective differed from both Epicharmus and Protagoras. He was of the opinion that our minds collaborate with our eyes to sense the world, leading to the creation of?optical illusions. This viewpoint is widely accepted today, suggesting that optical illusions occur when our brains deceive us into seeing things that aren't truly there.
