Take a look at this image and test your power of perception. If you can’t believe your eyes or get stumped, it’s because you’re looking at an optical illusion. By definition, illusions are images and sights which strongly disagree with physical reality.
When we suddenly realize that not all is as it appears, our brains light up, forcing us to pay extra attention to whatever it is that seems to be playing tricks on our eyes. In a more comprehensive sense, optical illusions are all about the eyes, brain, and perception. Specifically, the eyes visually perceive an image which the brain processes as not fitting in line or matching the stimulus source its emanating from.
In other words, it is when you look at something and end up seeing something else completely different. You look at X but think your seeing Y. In general, there are all sorts of different types of illusions and optical ones, also known as visual illusions, happen to be the most well known sub-category.
To experience one right now, check out the photo below. It’s the latest image that has managed to drive the internet crazy. Answer the simple question posed, “How many girls are there in this picture?,” and then pick the option that reflects your count. After you enter it, you’ll be able to see how many other people chose that same number and all of the other options as well.
It’s a fun way to exercise your mind and fool your senses, so have fun and enjoy!
