This Illusion Might Not Work Depending on Where You're From

The video explores optical illusions, focusing on the Muller-Lyer illusion, which tricks the brain into perceiving lines of equal length as different due to visual cues and perspective. It discusses how cultural and environmental factors influence susceptibility to such illusions, supported by studies comparing different groups worldwide. The video also highlights how perception varies across cultures, as seen in studies on change blindness tasks. Overall, it emphasizes the complexity of the brain and how perception is shaped by surroundings and experiences.
