So grab a stopwatch, set the timer and see if you have a perfect 20/20 vision.
But did you know solving such challenges can improve your intelligence?
Optical illusions are visuals designed to trick our minds and can be a simple IQ test.
They test our understanding of reality, depth and perspective as we try to understand what’s in front of us.
Studies have shown that people who regularly challenge themselves with optical illusions and puzzles improve their problem-solving skills, concentration and attention.
ENGAGING in activities like solving optical illusions and brainteasers can have many cognitive benefits as it can stimulate various brain regions.
Optical illusions make a little bit more sense when you learn that our eyes have very little to do with what we see and it is our brains that play the key role in creating images and trying to protect us from the potential threats around us.
Our brain is constantly trying to make sense of the world at the quickest pace it can despite the world being in 3D and the images on our retinas being in 2D.
It can be really difficult for your brain to interpret everything at once so it will often take shortcuts and give you a simplified version of what you see so you can have quicker reaction times if the object you’re looking at looks dangerous.
When you look at an object what you’re really seeing is the light that bounced off of it and entered your eye, which is converted into electrical impulses that your brain then turns into an image.
Our brains can warp straight lines if an object in the middle of them looks like it’s drawing closer as it wants to emphasize the potential threat.
Different colours and light and dark can make the same-sized objects look different or make patterned images look like they’re spinning.
Some benefits include:
So before you start with this one, try and see if you can find the cheeky ghost trying to blend in within this party scene in a super quick time.
If you can then you have the watchful eyes of a clever spirit but beware they are very good at keeping secrets.
You can also try and spot all five differences between the two identical pictures.
Or have a go at finding the sausage that definitely shouldn’t be in with the fruit and vegetables.
