    This document discusses optical illusions and how human vision works. It explains that the perception of the "dress" colors (black and blue vs white and gold) depends on the viewer because of individual differences in how our eyes and brains process color under different lighting conditions. Our brains are wired to make sense of visual patterns based on past experiences, but sometimes this leads to optical illusions where what we see does not match objective reality. The document also provides examples of optical illusions using shapes and lines to illustrate how visual processing can distort straight lines or simple shapes.
