What are some amazing pictures one has to see twice to understand?
That's really interesting. Can you tell me more about how these illusions work in our brain?
Of course! These illusions work by exploiting how the brain perceives and interprets visual information. They rely on our brains creating a "gestalt", a whole picture from individual parts, and then revising that picture as we gather more information. When an image is ambiguous, our brains can interpret it in different ways, and these illusions take advantage of that by presenting two or more contrasting interpretations. As a result, we have to "see twice" to understand them fully.
