Optical IllusionsIf you’ve ever felt like you go a little cross-eyed after taking a peek at an optical illusions, then you know they can be a pretty intense phenomenon. What your eyes perceive when looking at one of these images is actually a visual brain tease you see the image as something different than what it is because the different cells and receptors in your eyes distinguish images and colors at dissimilar speeds. The eye can only receive a limited amount of visual stimuli, but as your brain constantly processes the visual information, it gives you the brain tease of continuous sight. Whether it’s an optical, physiological or cognitive brain tease, the design plays a trick on your eyes (and mind). Check out some of the interesting brain teasers below—but beware, you may not be able to absorb them all in one sitting.
