Illusions of perception

May 14, 2022

Illusions of perception are a distorted assessment of real images, their inconsistency with what they really are. Illusions can occur at the level of any of the senses - they are auditory, tactile, gustatory, olfactory, visual. Illusions of inattention: Illusions of inattention arise when there is insufficient concentration of attention or when there is a lack of information, that is, in conditions that make it difficult to perceive (strong noise, poor lighting, a significant distance of the object, etc.). For example, at a party where loud music is playing, instead of one word, another is heard. From afar, you can take a stranger for a friend, etc.
