Puzzles like these are deliberately designed to trick our vision and can be used as simple indicators of intelligence.
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 especially difficult because of the impressive shading and color in the background of the image.
The artistic details incorporated into it offer the perfect camouflage for a stealthy eagle, as it is difficult for your eyes to focus on any one object.
If you need help, try breaking the image into several parts. Then search each section slowly, one at a time.
