Optical illusions are something that many of us appreciate. When we look at them, our brain thinks that we see something different than what is actually in front of us. Regardless of how often we look at them or how we try to change our perspective, they continue to deceive us. It is amazing when we think about how this is possible.
In some cases, our eyes are tricked because the brain is unable to keep up with the information that is being sent to it. In other cases, it is because the eyes are limited in how much information they can take in. These are just some of the reasons why optical illusions take place, but regardless of why it happens, they are amazing to see. That will quickly become evident when you see these 16 illusions in action.

Examine this chessboard carefully. What colour are the squares A and B? The one seems black and the other white. Find out if you are correct.
Both of the squares are the same gray colour
4. Two colours?
The bottom square seems lighter, doesn’t it? Hide the horizontal line between the two with your finger.
5. Chessboard

Look at the four dots in the middle of this image for 30 seconds and then look at the ceiling. Blink a few times. What do you see?

15. Disappearance
Stare at the black dot in the center for a few seconds and the gray background will disappear
