There is a book called "Vision Science" (by Stephen Palmer) that is full of interesting stuff about how the brain interprets visual information. One thing I liked (there were lots): you probably know that your eyes move around with jerky motions called saccades. But if our eyes move in jerks, why don't we observe motion blur (like a camera would have) while our eyes are moving? It's not that our eyes aren't affected by motion blur: the answer is that our brains are wired so that when our eyes are moving, we don't really see anything at all. You just kind of discard the input you get while your eyes are jumping around. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccadic_masking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccadic_masking
