10 Optical Illusions That Will Make Your Brain Hurt!

Before jumping on in we have one question on our minds: what is an optical illusion? Optical illusions are visuals that tend to be deceptive to the eye and brain.
This is based on numerous factors including varying colors, patterns, lights, and more! When looking at these images what we see gets sent to our brains, and a false perception is created as the image our brain processes isn’t actually what is in front of us.
From spinning circles to disappearing dots, these insane optical illusions aren't what they appear to be. Are you ready to have your mind blown? Well let's go😉.
FAMOUS ILLUSIONS
1:Cafe wall illusion
These lines appear to be angled up or down, but the horizontal lines are actually all parallel. Need proof[0x1f609]? Try covering the top and bottom of one line of squares with a piece of paper. No slants to be found! lol you got it:-)
2:Scintillating grid illusion
An oldie but goodie, you may have seen the scintillating grid illusion before! Your brain thinks there’s a black dot inside each white circle—until you focus on each individual white circle. Then you realize it was never there at all.[0x1f609]
3:Ponzo illusion
One of these yellow lines seems longer than the other. If you look closely, you’ll realize they’re both the exact same length.[0x1f607]
4:Elephant optical illusion
The elephants we see have four legs but this one is throwing us a doozy. If we look closely you’ll see this elephant also only has four legs! Artist Roger Shepard left natural space blank causing confusion and making our brains think the space is supposed to be a leg. Still confused? Cover up the feet and you’ll see the four legs.lol[0x1f602][0x1f602][0x1f602]
5:Spinning seeds
Your eyes will keep jumping to the spinning sunbursts of seeds—even though they’re all staying still.[0x1f609]
6:Ripple effect
Are you sure the circles in this image aren’t moving? Are you sure they’re not rippling in a wavelike motion? But really—are you positive? This happens because of a lag in the way we process looking at one aspect of the image to another causing our brain to think there is movement. Our smarts are being tested! already [0x1f604].
7:Spinning colors
Optical illusions like this will leave you dazed and confused. The colors seem to be swirling around, even though it’s a still image.
8:Hidden message
Lose your focus a bit (seriously—try to go a little cross-eyed) and you’ll spot a secret message hidden in the black dots. Take a closer look, though, and the words will disappear from sight.
9:New squares
At first glance, the four diamonds in this picture pop right out. But look closer—there’s not a single line creating those shapes. The contrast between the black and white makes your brain assume they exist[0x1f654].
10:Connected lines
Which of the two lines on the right side of the gray rectangle connects to the one on the left side? As you can see from the image on the right, it’s the one on the bottom (labeled in blue)—not the one on the top! When you can’t see the whole picture (literally), these optical illusions can seriously throw you for a loop[0x1f602].
