Optical illusions are mind-bending images that challenge our perception and visual skills. These illusions play with our visual system tricking it into believing that something else is present in the picture.
In other words, what you see and what you think you are seeing are two different things.
These illusions stimulate the areas of the brain responsible for visual memory and intelligence and are also used as simple tools to test the ability of our visual system to observe things around us.
Regular practise of such challenges has the ability to enhance cognitive abilities, thereby preventing cognitive decline in older people.
