Optical Illusion: A rat is hiding in plain sight in the picture. Can you spot it in 3 seconds? Test your attentiveness now!
Illusion is derived from the Latin verb illudere, which means to mock or trick. Our brain tends to fill in the information gaps that the eyes receive to provide us with a sensory experience of the world around us. It is called perception.
Optical illusion pictures are designed to trick human perception and are regarded as one of the simplest tests to determine the attentiveness of the brain.
Neuroscientists have also used optical illusion pictures to study how the brain perceives reality.
It is suggested that practising optical illusion puzzles can help develop better problem-solving skills and improve lateral thinking in individuals.
