Other Types of Optical Illusions
For instance, hidden image puzzles are just one manifestation of these optical illusions. The latter can take as many forms as there are, such as images that appear to be moving while they are not and even picture play tricks on the brain to depict something unseen. More insight into how our brains manage visual information might be gained by looking into other kinds of optical illusion.
For example, the famous “café wall illusion” makes curved lines appear when in fact the lines are straight. Another such better-known illusion is the “spinning dancer,” which changes direction depending upon the viewer’s perspective. Such illusions show how terrific the brain can be in terms of filling gaps, creating depth, and even interpreting movement based on incomplete information.
Explore the many optical illusions and understand how your brain really works. Learn to see the patterns and visual tricks employed in each of these illusions, and maybe even become more skilled at detecting hidden images like the girl in the photograph.
