A puzzling optical illusion can reveal something about your memories depending on what you see in the image.
Optical illusions use many factors to confuse the human brain, such as color and shape.

A TikTok user @CharlesMeriot illustrates this in a 15 second clip.
In the video, Charles shows a green and yellow image that can be perceived in two different ways.
Some people may first see two crocodiles facing each other, while others may see an eagle in flight.
“What did you see first?” the TikTok content creator asked his viewers.
“If you saw crocodiles first, it means you have a fierce personality, you are very aggressive, but right now you are looking for a relationship,” Charles said.
“If you were the first to see an eagle, it means that you are very proud, that you accept the opportunity and that you are going to trample on other people if they get in your way,” he added.
Although many people believe that optical illusions can reveal something about your personality, this is not proven science.
However, this optical illusion, known as the illusion of ambiguity, can reveal the inner workings of the human brain.
How does this optical illusion work?
Ambiguous illusions play with light, color and shapes to trigger your optical impulses.
These optic impulses are then transmitted through your optic nerve to your brain, where it instantly begins to interpret the information, experts at eye care company Clear Eyes explained:
“This is where the disconnect occurs that ‘tricks’ your brain into seeing, or not seeing, what’s really there.”
Souvenirs are also included.
Memories and personal experiences also play a role in interpreting ambiguous optical illusions, according to new studies.
“Think of your working memory as your mind’s eye: the little bits of information that your brain retains for short periods of time,” the Clear Eyes experts noted. “Although these memories can only be temporarily stored in your brain, they influence your perception.”
“This means that your memories influence how you interpret ambiguous images, which explains why people see different images first.”
“Things like your age, education, and life experience affect how your brain thinks. See? Your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you after all!”
