Abstract
Optical illusions are commonly used in psychology classes in order to show how the brain can be easily manipulated. These illusions all target different parts of the visual pathway. As a result, researchers are able to find the specific reasons for some illusions, such as the Hermann Grid. However, scientists currently have no specific reason that all illusions trick us. As further research is done, optical illusions will be better understood, and scientists will be able to use them to further understand the visual pathway.
