Optical illusions are visual images that are created so that they can fool our brains. They are also called visual illusions and are often used as simple intelligence tests; their popularity is evident in their widespread use in pop culture.

There are three main types of optical illusions: literal, physiological, and cognitive. 

Literal illusions occur when our brains misinterpret the physical properties of an object. 

Physiological illusions are caused by the way our eyes and brains process light and colour. 

Cognitive illusions occur when our brains make assumptions about what we are seeing, even when the evidence contradicts those assumptions.

Studies suggest that regular practice of optical illusions can boost concentration and prevent cognitive decline in adults.

If you love illusions, then this optical illusion is going to blow your mind off.
