Question

Eye illusion takes place

• A. Due to abnormality in the midbrain
• B. Due to misinterpretation of stimulus
• C. Due to lack of coordination in ANS
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Due to misinterpretation of stimulus

• The illusion is a misrepresentation of a “real” sensory stimulus i.e the interpretation that contradicts objective “reality” as defined by general agreement.
• For example, a child who perceives tree branches at night as if they are goblins(blood cells) may be said to be having an illusion.
• Hence Eye illusion takes place due to misinterpretation of the stimulus.
• So, the correct answer is due to misinterpretation of the stimulus.
