💬 Does the central triangle look genuinely brighter to your eyes than the background? (Solution in first comment 👇)

💡 SCIENCE BEHIND THE ILLUSION:
There are NO lines or triangles drawn in the center—only three 'Pac-Man' circles and three acute angles! Gaetano Kanizsa showed that the brain creates 'illusory contours' to make sense of incomplete visual stimuli, hallucinating edges and enhanced brightness.
