Optical illusion: Spot the smiling face in this crowd of frowning people

Do you believe you have hawk eyes? Have you ever considered having a somewhat higher IQ and a keener sense of perception? Our brains can interpret images in just 13 milliseconds. The beautiful thing about humans is that we all have slightly varied perspectives on the world, and identifying concealed items in optical illusions is one method to gauge how well our brains are functioning. Let's see where you stand after taking on today's challenge.

Optical illusions and humans have a centuries-old interaction. It actually dates all the way back to ancient Greece. Did you know that the ancients created the appearance of curving surfaces on temple rooftops by using optical illusions? But this visual trickery goes further back.

The Greek philosopher Epicharmus proposed the idea that optical illusions are misinterpreted by our senses rather than our intellect in 5 B.C. But according to another Greek philosopher, Protagoras, our bodily senses' ability to perceive information was greatly influenced by our surroundings. Contrarily, Plato asserted—and this is still widely accepted today—that our eyes and minds collaborate to interpret outside stimuli.

Our brains process images in under 13 milliseconds, according to study from MIT. This explains why we are so easily duped by visual illusions. In a split second, our brains are deciding what we are seeing.

The optical illusion of the day is unique and will challenge your brain in a way that no other. This is the place to come if you want to acknowledge your ability to see and think clearly, or just how skilled you are at observing. Additionally, solving visual puzzles is supposed to enhance the general health of your brain. So let's get started.
