You may have come across optical illusions, tricky puzzles and various puzzles and each of them will surely surprise you with their level of difficulty. This is another challenging optical illusion that has many people scratching their heads. In this challenge, you have to find the word DOG. For some people, at first glance it seems easy because all the letters contained in the word DOG are available in the image but finding the correct sequence of letters as in DOG is very difficult.
Why are optical illusions difficult to solve?
Optical illusions are difficult to solve because they manipulate how the brain interprets visual information, and this creates a conflict between perception and reality. Our brains are wired to recognize familiar patterns and make quick judgments based on past experiences. Optical illusions often distort or change patterns in ways that confuse us and thus cause us to draw erroneous conclusions. For example, illusions can play with shapes, colors and spatial arrangements, tricking the brain into perceiving movement or depth where there is none. How do optical illusions work? Our brain interprets visual stimuli by making assumptions about what it will see. Optical illusions deliberately destroy expectations and therefore make it more difficult for us to decipher meaning from images. For example, in photos containing ambiguous images or hidden objects, the brain cannot distinguish between multiple interpretations of the same thing.
Because each brain processes visual information differently, each person perceives illusions differently. Some delusions are difficult because their specific targets are cognitive biases or mental shortcuts. Such complexity makes solving optical illusions quite difficult and is therefore a very interesting subject as it studies human perception and cognition.
