You have 20/20 vision if you can spot five boxes of popcorn among the moviegoers within 10 seconds in optical illusion
YOU could have 20/20 vision if you can spot the hidden boxes of popcorn in this image.
Grab a timer and see if you can find all the objects in 10 seconds or less.
This image was designed by ICE36 which reports that two in five people cannot find the popcorn in less than 30 seconds.
Many optical illusion lovers may not know that the human eye can identify an image in just a fraction of a second.
A team of neuroscientists at MIT found that people can process an entire picture that the eye sees for as little as 13 milliseconds.
“The fact that you can do that at these high speeds indicates to us that what vision does is find concepts,” Mary Potter, an MIT professor of brain and cognitive sciences said.
“That’s what the brain is doing all day long – trying to understand what we’re looking at.”
The eye is so impressive that it not only gives the brain visual information but also gives clues as to where you should look next.
“The job of the eyes is not only to get the information into the brain but to allow the brain to think about it rapidly enough to know what you should look at next,” Potter said.
“So in general we’re calibrating our eyes so they move around just as often as possible consistent with understanding what we’re seeing.”
Some optical illusion artists guess that the brain will help to fill in information that the eye isn’t actively looking at.
For example, the baffling Healing Grid will completely change if you stare at one location for long enough.
The Healing Grid was discovered by Ryota Kanai from Utrecht University in The Netherlands.
It ended up being a finalist in the 2005 Best Illusion of the Year Contest.
The illusion appears to indicate that the brain prefers to see regular patterns, so it will change the way you see images.
A scientific paper was later written about the illusion by Kanai and several others.
In the paper, they argue that the brain can reconstruct information based on readily available, detailed visual information.
This ability of the mind can give rise to a rich, but illusory, experience of peripheral vision, the paper reads.
The U.S. Sun has shared several other illusions that can reveal hidden aspects of yourself.
You may have the eyes of an eagle if you can spot a number in 15 seconds.
And based on what you see first in a trippy image could determine whether or not you’re friendly or emotionally volatile.
