An optical illusion, in simple terms, is something that deceives the eye by appearing different from reality. If you set your eyes on something and it appears different from how it really is, you probably experienced an optical illusion. One of the many interesting examples of illusion is seeing faces or animals in cloud patterns. Have you seen one lately? Tell us in the comments!

There are three main types of optical illusions: literal (images within images), physiological (afterimages or motion effects), and cognitive (use of angles, lighting, and shadows to confuse perception).

Optical illusions use light, colour, and patterns to create images that can be misleading or deceptive in nature. In such cases, your brain works in overdrive to fill in the gaps in the visual information but fails to create the correct perception. Rather, you end up seeing something that isn't even there!

To sharpen your cognitive faculties, optical illusion tests themselves are the key. When you practice every day with at least one visual illusion, you expose your brain to complex visual problems to solve and build the neural network. These illusions offer a mental workout, which in turn strengthens your concentration, memory, and focus.

Are you ready for today's optical illusion challenge? Here it comes. Let's go!
