Optical illusions are visual misinterpretations, often involving the brain's interpretation of visual stimuli being different from the actual reality. There are three main types of optical illusions: literal, physiological, and cognitive. 

Literal illusions involve two distinct images that are perceived as one. These create the illusion of a single image. For example, the "Vase and Faces" illusion, where some perceive a vase while others see two faces. 

Physiological illusions are caused by overstimulation of the visual system by colours, light, movement, or patterns. Example: the "rotating snakes" illusion, where the image lingers even after the stimulus is removed.

Next up, cognitive illusions. These illusions rely on the brain's cognitive processes to interpret visual information based on prior knowledge and assumptions. Examples include the "Muller-Lyer" illusion, where the lines with arrows appear different lengths even though they are not.

Today, in this article, we will challenge you with a literal optical illusion. In this image below of a living room, there is a feather perfectly blending into the surroundings. This camouflage is creating a perception of a single image. You will get only 5 seconds to spot it. This optical illusion challenge is a fun opportunity to test your visual perception with this optical illusion IQ test. Are you ready?
