How does an optical illusion work?
By Tom Malley
OPTICAL illusions are a great way to test your vision and cognitive abilities, requiring you to really think and observe what’s in front of you.
More often than not, players have to find something hidden within the image that cannot be immediately found at first glance.
But the more you stare at it, the more your brain tries to help you find the answer.
What you see and what you think you see are two completely different things, but your senses collect information and send it to your brain.
Your brain then creates a perception with this information, filling in the gaps when there is incomplete information or creating an image that is not there at all.
This reaction is actually a survival instinct.
Our brains have evolved to work quickly to piece together all the information they can get, before doing their best to figure out the rest.
So when you look at an optical illusion, your brain works with what it has to develop reality to help you see the answer in the image.
Did you know that solving optical illusions is a great way to train your brain and improve your creative thinking?
Puzzles are deliberately designed to deceive our vision and can be used as simple indicators of intelligence.
Some benefits include cognitive stimulation, developed problem-solving skills, improved memory, increased creativity, focus and attention, and stress relief.
