Do you feel you are more vigilant to things that others are unable to see and find yourself bringing out an extraordinary explanation to things which amazes people?
In that case, a tricky optical illusion might just be the right thing for you to exercise your brain.

The first four prominent ones
Of the 13 hidden faces, these four faces are quite prominent and are easily spotted by many users. The reason viewers see these images first can be partly due to their location, which is towards the centre and also may be because of the size of these images.
Whenever we see an image, our eyes first catch the objects on the centre and evidently those images which are bigger in size come to our vision first.

Illusions, experts say, reveals how you brain works and relies more on your perception than on your visual sense.
As per Susana Martinez-Conde, director of the laboratory of visual neuroscience at Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Ariz, “an illusion is a phenomenon in which our subjective perception doesn’t match the physical reality of the world.”
Illusions have always enticed researchers to study more on how the brain and the vision system works and coordinates.
