Visual brain teasers like this one are backed by science. These visual puzzles help in engaging your areas of brain responsible for visual processing, spatial reasoning, logical thinking, and decision-making. The science is simple: When you scan a complex image to find a single anomaly, you are training your brain on the phenomenon called selective attention, which is the ability of your brain to filter visual clutter and zero in on the odd one out.

These skills are essential in your everyday life, such as reading, writing, proofreading, or spotting a familiar face in a crowd. People with strong visual IQ have been found to have higher levels of critical thinking and problem-solving.
