THIS mind-bending optical illusion will have you shaking your head – literally.
At first sight, the freaky image appears just to be made up of vertical black and white lines but there is something hidden behind it.

The image is revealed by simply shaking your head from side to side.
Dr Michelle Dickinson appears to have first posted the optical illusion on Twitter back in January 2019 but is once again doing the rounds and blowing people’s minds.
She posted the picture along with the caption: “You can only see this optical illusion if you shake your head” and added a laughing emoji.
By keeping your head still all you can see are the black and white lines but by simply shaking your head suddenly what seems to be a cartoon cat wearing a suit and tie appears before your eyes.
Dr Dickinson’s post picked up more than 3,600 likes as well as hundreds of comments.
One wrote: “Here I am shaking my head like a crazy person at my work desk.”
Another said: “Can’t believe I’ve been shaking my head for this… It worked though! And yes, shaking your phone is a better option… Tsssssskkk!”
Many others though said they could see the image straight away without having to shake their head or their phone.
While the majority of people thought they saw a cat not everyone was convinced with suggestions it could be a rabbit and one joker proclaimed it was a zebra.
Earlier this month the internet was taken by storm by another optical illusion that had people scratching their heads.
A Reddit user posted an image of what appeared to be four eggs at first sight – or was it?
The rather innocuous photo appears to show four eggs stacked on top of each other but a closer look reveals what could be two pairs of bare legs.
Commentators were divided on just exactly what the picture showed, many thought it was just some eggs while others thought there was something X-rated going on.
Others were simply left confused.
Manubibi chimed in: “Uh, I can kinda see it but only by ignoring some parts of the image. If I was to see it without any explanation, I would immediately say I don’t know exactly what the image is, honestly.”
It comes after a mind-boggling optical illusion appearing to show horses on a mountain top caused a row between its creator and scientists.
Bev Doolitte’s portrait of five patch-skinned horses standing together on a snow ledge has been a mainstay on the National Institute of Environmental Health Services’ (NIEHS) website for a while now.
In it, what appears to be four white and brown horses and a foal are bunched together and blend into the brown rock and snowy background, giving the picture an optical illusion.
But scientists say Doolitte’s image actually has seven horses and not five, as its creator claims.
According to the group, the picture is made of seven horses including some partial horses like a horse head and rear.
