Memory strengthens the connection between brain cells, which reduces the problem of short-term memory loss, reports Vox.

Illusions are “the basis of superstition, the basis of magical thinking,” neuroscientist Martinez-Conde told Vox.
ZenBuisness called the illusions “visual puzzles” that can “give you good mental exercise which in turn can help you think more effectively and solve problems more easily.”
