10 Optical Illusions That Will Blow Your Mind!

How Many Legs Does An Elephant Have?

Normally four but this particular elephant appears to have more. However have a really good look and you'll see the true nature of this image.

This Is Not A GIF!

Honestly, this is not an animated image. If you stare at just one area of the image you will see that it stops moving.

Coffee Beans

See if you can find a hidden man's face within the coffee beans. He is definitely there but you may need to have a good look. Although this isn't an optical illusion in the truest sense, apparently if you can find the face in under three seconds then it may be that "the right side of your brain may be more developed than most." (The right side of the brain is thought to be responsible for art, creativity, and imagination.) Cool!

The Spiral

Although this may look like a spiral, this image is actually a series of concentric circles. Run your finger along the lines and see for yourself. The complicated background pattern tricks your brain into filling in what isn't really there.

Pink Or Green Dots

f you stare at the black cross in the middle of the image then you will see a green dot moving around the circle. Eventually the pink dots will seem to disappear and you'll be left with only a green dot going round. However, the reality is that the green dot doesn't really exist!

Count The Black Dots

So you think you can see black dots? See if you can count them. You might struggle because the reality is, there are no black dots! There is in fact only white spots which seem to turn black from your peripheral vision.

Parallel Lines - Yes Or No?

Although it might not look like it, these lines are parallel. It is due to a brain function known as irradiation, where our brains tend to "spread" dark zones into light zones.

Which Is The Biggest Line?

The answer: They are both the same size.!

Which Is The Biggest Orange Circle?

Again, they are both the same size. Known as the Ebbinghaus Illusion.

Colouring In

We all love to colour in and so does our brain. When a polygon has a border made of a bright line, bordered by a darker line of a complementary color: your brain is tricked into "filling in" the shape with the brighter color.
