Advantages of optical illusions
RESEARCHERS have developed many tests to show how different regions of the brain respond to optical illusions.
They are not only entertaining, but shed light on how our brain interprets visual data.
By giving your brain a little exercise on a regular basis, you improve your ability to focus and observe details.
Studies have shown that people who regularly face optical illusions and puzzles see great improvements in their problem-solving skills, concentration and attention.
Improved concentration and attention span, in turn, can help prevent cognitive decline in old age.
Psychologists at the University of Glasgow have discovered that looking at an optical illusion can improve vision by allowing you to see fine print.
This puzzle is made especially tricky by the abundance of action in the background of the picture.
The busy nature of the scene, filled with frenzied children picking apples, animals around and greenery, combined with the lack of color, offered the perfect camouflage for the wily fish.
The artistic details that have gone into this illusion make it difficult for your eyes to focus on any object.
