#1
Quick! Count the number of times that the letter F appears in the following sentence:
“Finished files are the result of years of scientific study combined with the experience of years'
Answer:
How many F's did you count? there are six! It's no joke! Read again:
FINISHED FILES ARE THE
RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS
Almost everyone guesses three. Why? It seems that the brain cannot correctly process the word 'OF'. The letter F usually makes the 'f' sound, like in 'fox'. However, in the word 'of', it makes a 'v' sound. Somehow, your brain overlooks the word 'of' as it scans for the sound of 'f'.
#2
Is the inner shape a real circle?
Answer:
Sometimes extraneous information around your target can distort your view. Try covering the lines with a piece of card to remove some of the interfering information.
Both shapes are perfect circles.
#3
What Do you See?
Answer:
You should be able to perceive two different images: An Indian Chief or an Eskimo
Brain Science:
This image is an example of an ambiguous illusion, a picture or object that requires perceptual switching between the alternative interpretations of figure and ground. And although you may be able to switch back and forth to see one image or the other, your eyes will not let you see both at the same time.
