Why are these illusions so fascinating?
These playful little challenges offer much more than just a moment of distraction. They awaken concentration, sharpen attention to detail, and force the brain to switch off autopilot.
It’s a bit like the mental equivalent of a coffee break: a few minutes to breathe, refocus, and be surprised. No wonder these images go viral: they all give us the feeling of investigating, of solving a mystery, of emerging victorious after a long period of doubt.
A perfect activity to disconnect.
