Perceptual Error

/pərˈsɛptʃuəl ˈɛrər/noun
ELI5 mode

A perceptual error is a flaw in how the brain processes sensory information, leading to a mistaken understanding of reality, such as seeing an illusion or mishearing sounds. This common human glitch can stem from factors like lighting, expectations, or neurological limits, and in modern contexts, it's increasingly studied in AI to improve machine vision systems and reduce real-world mishaps.
