But did you know that solving optical illusions is a great way of training your brain and improving creative thinking?. ENGAGING in activities like solving optical illusions and brainteasers can have many cognitive benefits as it can stimulate various brain regions.

Optical illusions make a little bit more sense when you learn that our eyes have very little to do with what we see and it is our brains that play the key role in creating images and trying to protect us from the potential threats around us. Our brain is constantly trying to make sense of the world at the quickest pace it can despite the world being in 3D and the images on our retinas being in 2D.

It can be really difficult for your brain to interpret everything at once so it will often take shortcuts and give you a simplified version of what you see so you can have quicker reaction times if the object you’re looking at looks dangerous. When you look at an object what you’re really seeing is the light that bounced off of it and entered your eye, which is converted into electrical impulses that your brain then turns into an image.

Our brains can warp straight lines if an object in the middle of them looks like it’s drawing closer as it wants to emphasize the potential threat. Different colours and light and dark can make the same-sized objects look different or make patterned images look like they’re spinning.

Some benefits include:. Brainteasers are purposefully designed to trick our vision and can be used as simple determiners of intelligence. So you might want to try The Sun's wide range of optical illusions created to stimulate the deepest parts of your brain.
