Optical illusions have gained a lot of popularity recently, as they get our brain to exercise, and can be the perfect test of our observational skills and keen eye. People who want to use their free time effectively can solve puzzles, which provide both entertainment and problem-solving solutions. The brain creates visual illusions through its incorrect processing of what the eyes detect during visual perception. It occurs when the information sent by the eyes conflicts with how the brain processes, and understands what it sees. Our brains create false perceptions through these illusions, which make us see things that do not exist while they distort the actual appearance of objects. The human eye perceives motion through visual processing which makes stationary pictures seem to move, and two identical objects appear to have different dimensions.Can you find the horse?This image hides a horse which you need to spot within 15 seconds of viewing time. The problem presents itself as a straightforward yet intelligent test, which requires viewers to locate the hidden horse. The initial view of the image shows nothing out of the ordinary, yet detailed observation of all areas and dark spots reveals a horse exists in the picture.If you’re finding it tough, don’t worry. The search for these animals requires you to observe their body shapes, which include their mane appearance, ear structure and their hoof design. The horse is camouflaged within the lines, curves, and darker patches of the image. The brain receives different visual information than what the eye perceives, because of these illusions which produce visual deceptions. The ability to notice hidden patterns and shapes stands as important as speed does in this activity. The solution of these visual puzzles needs observers to make precise visual checks.The revealDid you manage to spot the horse in 15 seconds? Your eyes are sharp if you answered yes! If not, here’s what you missed: the horse is hidden in the lower part of the image, its outline blending into the darker areas. Its body, head, and legs are all there-you just need to see the shape hidden among the distractions. Take a look…
Types of optical illusionsThe human brain experiences three main categories of optical illusions.Literal Illusions: The brain creates non-existent images through its process of uniting different elements from an image. The way we view an image, can make it appear as either two faces or a vase.Physiological Illusions: The visual system becomes overactive because of excessive light exposure, excessive movement and color stimulation. The visual effects they produce include both afterimage appearances and moving objects, that seem to move.Cognitive Illusions: These rely on how the brain subconsciously interprets information. The Müller-Lyer illusion represents one example of an illusion which makes lines appear longer or shorter based on surrounding shapes.
