Sometimes, when we watch a psychological movie or visit an illusion museum, we may feel like our mind is playing tricks on us. But when we finally solve the puzzle behind the illusion, it brings us an amusing “a-ha!” moment that makes us feel good about ourselves.
It’s fascinating to see something, think it’s one thing, and then discover what it actually is. The subreddit ‘Confusing Perspectives‘ is all about that experience. Here, members share mind-boggling photos and artwork that play with angles, scale, and composition, creating stunning illusions that can deceive even the most perceptive eye. We welcome you to dive into this surreal realm and have your mind pleasantly bewildered as we’ve gathered our favorite posts from the group. Be sure to upvote the ones that made you look twice… or thrice!
Trippy
Seeing is believing, right? Well… not exactly, what you see may not be what you think you see. “Your senses gather information and send it to your brain. But your brain does not simply receive this information – it creates your perception of the world”, the American Museum of Natural History defines optical illusions on their page. This goes to show that your brain can fill in gaps or create images that aren’t really there. And the reason for that is evolution: “survival depends on fast reactions. Your brain has evolved to work quickly to piece together whatever bits and fragments it can get – and to do its best to figure out the rest.”
