Optical illusions are purposefully designed to trick our vision, and can be used as simple determiners of intelligence.
Optical illusions benefits
RESEARCHERS have developed many tests that show how various brain regions react to optical illusions.
They are not only entertaining, but they also shed light on how our brains interpret visual data.
By giving your brain a little workout on a regular basis, you enhance your ability to focus and observe details.
Studies have shown, people who regularly challenge themselves with optical illusions and puzzles see big improvements in their problem-solving skills, concentration and attention.
Improved concentration and attention span, in turn, can help prevent cognitive decline in older age.
Psychologists at The University of Glasgow found that staring at an optical illusion can improve eyesight by allowing you to see small print.
This puzzle is made particularly tricky through the lack of colours throughout the image.
The artistic detailing that has gone into this illusion offers the perfect camouflage for the objects, as your eyes find it hard to focus on any one object.
