Illusions 
 Using our 5 senses, our brains can be  tricked into all sorts of illusions for example when rolling one marble with our eyes closed and crossed fingers our brain can think  we were rolling 2 marbles and when smelling a pear with our eyes closed and eating pineapple our brain can think we were eating pears as the smell of the pear is more  predominant.
