Abstract:: Abstract: The advances in research on event-related potentials (ERP) evoked by visual illusions are summarized, thereby providing a new perspective for the further study on the psychological and physiological mechanisms of visual illusions and the guidance for researches based on visual illusions. The ERP researches on visual illusions at home and abroad are reviewed, and the significance of ERP in perception processing mechanism of visual illusions and their influencing factors are summarized. Moreover, the types, characteristics, perceptual processing theory models and information processing pathways of visual illusions are described. Finally, the research directions and trends of ERP in visual illusions are put forward. Even though visual illusions have various types and different characteristics, and there are many theoretical models to explain the perception processing mechanisms of visual illusions, some conclusions can be obtained. The ERP research on visual illusions is abided by the top-down control theory of perception and the information processing of visual illusions share the same pathways as the real visual perception and ERP research on visual illusion has a wide range of development and application prospects in revealing the psychological and physiological mechanisms of visual illusions and evaluating the effects of visual illusions.
