Visual illusions are tampering with our eyes – and brains – the strangest ways. It usually makes us look at one we see something that does not really exist. Take the Kanizsa Square, which is visible with four black circles with sliced slices of them to make each look like Pac-Man. Immediately, we see something else as well: a white box, the illusion concerned.
new Ticket Posted in Natural neuroscience He revealed the reasons that fill the brains in the gaps of delusions, such as Kanza Square. Discovering brain activity in mice, researchers discovered that a specific group of cells known as IC (IC “symbols that stand on” fake features “) receive instructions to make the brain recognize external edges, or” features “, from many illusion.
How does the brain see delusions
Minds were able to decode fake features throughout the ages. Humans are not the only ones who can realize these delusions; Other than human, mice, fish, and even insects can also not.

Most likely, this ability appeared in the need to infer organisms based on incomplete information, which helps us to understand the space around us. It is within your reach when the objects are dismantled, which means that they are partially hidden from the width. When facing something removed, the brain stems into action to fill the lost details.
Like Kanizsa Square, Cannza Triangle He puts this test ability. In this visible, there are three tablets with PAC-Man and three pairs of lines. Based on the composition of these elements, we do not see one, but two secret shapes: an inverted triangle indicates the bottom and a solid white triangle indicating the top, and appears like the upper layer of almost visual.
No triangle, though, exists. It is simply the edges of the tablets and lines that make them appear as if there were two triangles. Treatment of an imaginary ocean like this becomes a brain experience, which should be treated in all types of details, such as color, lightness and texture.

Imorment instructions
In order to perceive fake features, our brains require the help of IC coding neurons, which facilitate the process of completing the frequent pattern (in other words, seeing things that are not already found in many delusions).
But IC tools themselves need a little pressure from the optical areas in the brain that rise in the driving chain. The appearance of illusion first in these visual areas arises, then the information is passed to IC doctors in the initial optical cortex.
According to press release In the new study, this process is similar to a manager who informs the employees of beginners to complete the task. In this case, you should see the instructions that IC doctors have received in an illusion that does not really exist-like fictional triangles.
The active optical system of the brain
The researchers behind the study saw the IC bodies at work while monitoring the patterns of electrical brain activity of the mice that were displayed on fake images such as the Kanizsa triangle.
To better understand how nerve cells do, they photographed symptoms of light, in a process called bipophye -photon optics, when there was no fake image. When beating the beams, IC-ingoder neurons are repeated the same patterns of brain activity that occur when there is a fake image.
Now that the researchers knew the extent of brain activity when treating illusion, they are interested in seeing how this work affects treatments for diseases that affect the brain’s ability to perceive visual stimuli.
“In some diseases, you have patterns of activity that appear in your mind abnormal, and in schizophrenia, they are linked to the representations of things that appear randomly,” said author Jerome Likok, assistant researcher at the Allen Institute. “If you do not understand how these organisms are formed and a group of cells work together to make these offers appear, you will not be able to treat them, so understanding the cells that this activity is useful.”
