1. What do You See?
What do you see in the picture above? It is certainly a type of animal, but which animal you see will depend on your brain's perception. Can you see two different animals?
2. Hermann Grid Illusion
This optical illusion was made famous by Ludimar Hermann when he discovered it in 1870. When scanning the image, gray circles appear at the intersections of the white lines. When you try to focus on one intersection, the gray circle disappears.
3. Mario Staircase
This image has been debated for quite some time. Is Mario running up or down the staircase in the picture? What factors contribute to your answer?
4. Expanding Black Hole
According to a report from the Frontiers in Human Neuroscience journal, over 86% of people who stare at the center of this illusion see the shape expanding. Are you one of them?
5. Spinning Vortex
This is what is known as a physiological optical illusion, which is caused by too much stimulation of the brain’s senses. We promise this is not a video, it is a completely still picture. Don't believe it? Try focusing on the very center of the picture and see what happens.
6. The Looking Horse
Which way is the horse's head turning? Is it looking at you, or away from you? The answer for this one has yet to be determined.
7. Pintos
Here is another horse themed picture to make the list. This one, however, is different than the previous picture. This picture titled, "Pintos" by Artist Bev Doolittle, was designed with no intention to trick our mind, but instead to hide objects in plain sight. How many horses can you spot in this photo?
8. Cat on the Stairs
Similar to the Mario picture, people can't distinguish whether this cat is walking up or down the stairs. What do you see?
9. The Hidden Tiger
At first glance this just looks like a picture of a beautiful tiger in the forest, but can you also spot the hidden tiger in the picture? We promise it's there, and it's not the one in plain sight.
10. Red Earth
In this image created by artist Akiyoshi Kitaoka, the "anomalous motion phenomenon" is used to make this static picture appear to be in motion.
11. Read Between the Lines
Are you able to see an image between the lines? We will give you a hint, try shaking your head.
12. Spinning Discs
This is another artwork by Akiyoshi Kitaoka that tricks your brain into thinking the image is in motion. When you look at the image as a whole, it appears the discs in the picture are spinning. Try focusing on an individual wheel and see what happens.
13. How Many Numbers?
How many numbers do you see in this picture? What numbers are they? There might be more than you think.
