    Your eyes can deceive you. Here are some optical illusions to test your powers of observation.

    How many faces can you spot? If you can spot more than eight, you

    have good powers


    of observation!

    How many shades

    of pink is the X
    drawn with?

    Count the black dots. Dont get dizzy!

    How is this possible?

    The straight lines may look bent, but they really do form a perfect square!

    How many prongs does this instrument have?

    What do you see, a mans face or the word Liar?

    Are the gray lines parallel or do they slope?

    Duck or rabbit?

    Can you spot all five wolves?

    Can you see all

    three faces?

    A musician or a womans face?

    At first glance you may see a woman looking out a

    window. Look closer and


    you may see that there is NO woman, just a cat, some laundry, a bottle, a wineglass, some drapes

    and a potted plant.

    How many couples do you see?

    There are 13 faces in all. Can you spot them?

    A portrait or a landscape?

    These soldiers are all equal in height.

    All the diagonal lines are parallel.

    Know the facts behind...

    Your eyes are optical instruments, like the microscope and the telescope , but they can adjust more easily. Your eyes can tell different colours apart, they can adapt very quickly to variations in the amount of light theyre receiving, and they focus themselves automatically.

    The iris controls the quantity of light entering the eye. The lens focuses the light. Each retina is composed of 7 million core that detects colours and 12 million rod cells that detects black and white shapes as well as movement. The eye forms a reversed image on the retina. Right at the beginning of your development as a baby, your brain learned to turn the reversed image right side-up and interpret it. Your perception of the word is a translation, a transposition under the form of reality; it is not loyal to reality because your brain adds to, removes from, reorganizes, and interprets the sensory clue it receives. And your senses can trick you. This is what we call optical illusion.
