History of optical illusions can be traced back to the 5th century BC when it was first presented Epicharmus explanation of this phenomenon. Epicharmus believe that even if our mind know and understand everything clearly, the sense organs to mislead us and presents an optical illusion. Another Greek philosopher, Protagoras from the same period have different opinions about it. According to him, it is the environment that we are stupid and not the senses.Appearance presented by Protagoras Epicharmus and add to the confusion about what is really an optical illusion. from the year 450 BC, Epicharmus believe that our senses (seeing, hearing, smell, taste and touch) is not sufficient notice and disrupt. Exact words were, "The thought of seeing and hearing thoughts. Rest is blind and deaf". But, Protagorus not agree with what Epicharmus said. He thinks that our senses and the body is fine. He believed that it was a mess up our environment. He said, "Man is nothing but a bunch of sensation." Aristotle, who lived about 350 BC said both Epicharmus and Protagorus both right and wrong. He said that our senses can be trusted, but they can be easily fooled. "At first, people do not know when they see an optical illusion if their brains are playing tricks on them or if their eyes are playing tricks on them. Many people think they can explain why we see an optical illusion". Famous Greek philosopher, Aristotle tried to give some satisfactory answer on this topic. He agreed with Protagoras to the point that we can rely on the senses to obtain a true picture of reality, however, Aristotle (350 BC) also adds that it is possible to fool the senses quite easily. In the course of time about the optical illusion of knowledge is enriched by different philosophers and researchers.Thoughts expressed by Plato also provide some insight into this subject. According to Plato, describes tricks and finally the reality behind the illusion is possible with the use of both senses and mind.
