I don't think it is immune. Like with neural nets, human sensory processing is dependent on previous input data to generate generalized models of sensory input to prioritize and cluster data so that we can understand how things are similar. In psychology, this phenomena goes by different names depending on the circumstances; sensory priming and sensory habituation are two fairly well documented examples of sense/memory integration.
Obviously, humans aren't going to have to have this amount of error from small, small changes like these (except for maybe in very autistic people who have dramatic reactions to changes in their environment, but I may also be wrong; I'm not autistic, and I'm not a psychologist), but our innate perceptual biases do play heavily into how stimuli are processed and reacted to.
