Optical illusions are a great way to maintain an active brain, a sharp eye for detail, and strong concentration.

The shape-shifting images alter the way you perceive things to test your eyes and boggle your mind.

Studies show that optical illusions are very good for brain health because training your mind with difficult quizzes and puzzles can make you more intelligent.

Optical illusions also reveal interesting insights into the way the brain functions.

The human brain can view objects or images from various angles, meaning that combinations of light, colour, and pattern can fool you into seeing a totally different image, as we previously reported.

If you are among the 99% that struggle to find her, we will give you a clue: you only need to look for a face.
