Optical illusions are engaging mind-bending images that challenge your perception and further test your observation skills, challenging scientists to understand how our brain processes this visual information. These types of illusions are known to improve one’s cognitive abilities and stimulate our brain to think more creatively. Therefore, practicing these activities every day enhances our memory power and also sharpens our problem-solving skills.
Optical illusions are healthy for our brain as they can be thought of as a way in which our brain tries to make a keen sense of what one can see by changing what and how we perceive the stimulus. They are a perfectly natural phenomenon and do not necessarily reflect eye health or brain health. These problems should thus be solved on an everyday basis and do not require a particular age group as it is good for people dealing with dementia and Alzheimer's.
