We think we see the world exactly as it is—but optical illusions exist to question that idea. What you believe you see is frequently influenced by your brain's assumptions and expectations, rather than your true sight.
That’s why illusions such as the one in this article will serve as a small intelligence test for how quickly and adaptively your brain can interpret visual information.
In this picture, your task is to locate the concealed dog blended within a jumble of black and white dots. At first look, it resembles television noise or black ink scattered on a white canvas.
However, if you look closely—without overanalysing—you will notice the dog.
Are you ready to see if you have highly developed visual intelligence to crack this optical illusion challenge in under 5 seconds?
