Optical illusions are visuals designed to trick our minds and can be a simple IQ test.
They test our understanding of reality, depth and perspective as we try to make sense of what’s in front of us.
This puzzle can determine if your brain is in a great condition.
If you manage to find more than 15 animals in a given time, then your brain is in the best condition.
If you spot more than 10 animals in the illusion before the time runs out, then your brain is in fine condition.
But if you struggle to discover more than five or six animals, then you might want to train your brain a bit more.
You can train your mind by regularly practising optical illusions and puzzles.
They have a number of benefits and come in many different forms, such as ambiguous images or impossible objects.
Optical illusions benefits
Researchers have developed many tests that show how various brain regions react to optical illusions.
They are not only entertaining, but they also shed light on how our brains interpret visual data.
By giving your brain a little workout on a regular basis, you enhance your ability to focus and observe details.
Studies have shown, people who regularly challenge themselves with optical illusions and puzzles see big improvements in their problem-solving skills, concentration and attention.
Improved concentration and attention span, in turn, can help prevent cognitive decline in older age.
