Some people first notice the lines that form the lion’s face, but others spot a monkey hanging between the trees.
Observers were told that if they saw the monkey first, the right hemisphere of their brain was more active than the left.
A dominant right hemisphere can mean that you are a creative, innovative and intuitive being.
According to psychobiologist and Nobel Prize winner, Roger W. Sperry, the right side of your brain is more visual, intuitive and creative.
But if you saw the tiger’s head first, the left hemisphere of your brain is more active than the right.
Left-brained people are thought to be analytical, organized and well-structured.
These people are more goal oriented and tend to approach life with a methodical plan of action.
The left brain is thought to be more verbal, analytical and orderly than the right brain – sometimes called the digital brain because it’s better at things like calculations.

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.
