Optical illusionsget our brain to exercise, and they are also a way to reveal our innermost personality and hidden traits. An optical illusion is a visual phenomenon where the brain misinterprets what the eyes perceive.It occurs when the information sent by the eyes conflicts with how the brain processes and understands what it sees. These illusions often trick us into seeing things that are not there, or perceiving objects differently from reality. For example, a still image might appear to move, or two shapes may seem unequal in size even though they are identical.Which animal do you see first?Look at this image carefully. Depending on which animal you see first, we will reveal a deep aspect of your personality. If you notice the lion first, it means that you are brave, curious, and totally committed to achieving your goals. You are a go-getter, and possess a strong desire to learn and gain a deep understanding of the world around you. On the flipside, you might find it challenging to handle multiple tasks simultaneously.If you spot the bird first, it means you are imaginative, creative, and resourceful. You see the world through unique glasses, and enjoy finding new and innovative solutions to problems (that others might not be able to) On the other hand, you may sometimes seem a bit careless or distant to others.Types of optical illusionsThere are three main types of optical illusions:Literal Illusions: These occur when the brain combines elements of an image to actually create something that doesn’t exist.Physiological Illusions: These are caused by overstimulation of the visual system, such as excessive exposure to light, movement, or color. These images can create effects like afterimages or motion illusions.Cognitive Illusions: These images rely on how the brain subconsciously interprets information. One of the examples of illusions like this is the Müller-Lyer illusion, where lines appear longer or shorter due to surrounding shapes.
