Trompe-l'œil (French for 'deceive the eye'; / t r ɒ m p ˈ l ɔɪ / tromp-LOY; French: [tʁɔ̃p lœj] ⓘ) is an artistic term for the highly realistic optical illusion of three-dimensional space and objects on a two-dimensional surface.
Pathological visual illusions usually occur throughout the visual field, suggesting global excitability or sensitivity alterations. [33] Alternatively visual hallucination is the perception of an external visual stimulus where none exists. [32] Visual hallucinations are often from focal dysfunction and are usually transient.
Magic Eye is an autostereogram book series. Barberpole illusion: The barber pole illusion is a visual illusion that reveals biases in the processing of visual motion in the human brain. Benham's top: When a disk that has lines or colours on it is spun, it can form arcs of colour. Beta movement
Decoupling focus from convergence tricks the brain into seeing 3D images in a 2D autostereogram. The eyes normally focus and converge at the same distance in a process known as accommodative convergence. That is, when looking at a faraway object, the brain automatically flattens the lenses and rotates the two eyeballs for wall-eyed viewing.

Persistence of vision is the optical illusion that occurs when the visual perception of an object does not cease for some time after the rays of light proceeding from it have ceased to enter the eye. [1] The illusion has also been described as "retinal persistence", [2] "persistence of impressions", [3] simply "persistence" and other variations ...
Saccadic masking, also known as (visual) saccadic suppression, is the phenomenon in visual perception where the brain selectively blocks visual processing during eye movements in such a way that neither the motion of the eye (and subsequent motion blur of the image) nor the gap in visual perception is noticeable to the viewer.
