The human brain has phenomenal power in its ability to understand written language even when letters are out of order, as long as the first and last letters are in the right place. The brain does not read each letter individually but perceives words as a whole. Various optical illusions demonstrate how the brain can perceive images that are not really present or can be manipulated to see motions that are not actually occurring. The mind is highly suggestive and what we see is not always objective reality.

- 3. Take a look at the picture? What do you see? Research has shown that young children cannot identify the intimate couple because they do not have prior memory associated with such a scenario. Children see nine dolphins. This is a test to determine if you already have a corrupted mind.油 If it is hard for you to find the dolphins within six seconds, your mind is indeed corrupted.

- 21. This is quite amazing! If you see this lady turning clockwise, you are supposed to be using your right brain . If you see it turning the other way, (the lady turning counter-clockwise ) you are supposed to be using your left brain . Some people can make the lady turn both ways, but most people see it turning only one way (It is said that only about 15% of the US population can see her (make her) move both ways) 油 BOTH DIRECTIONS CAN BE DONE! See if you can make her go one way and then the other by shifting the brain's current!
- 22. This is without a doubt one of the coolest PC illusions I have seen so far Follow the instruction below. 1 ) Relax and stare at the 4 little dots on the middle of the picture for 30 seconds 2) then look at a blank wall near you (any smooth, single coloured surface) 3 ) a bright spot will appear 4 ) Blink your eyes a few times and you will see a figure emerging 5) What do you see? Moreover WHO do you see?
- 23. This is another example of an amazing illusion! If油your brain works normally this is neat. If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, the dots will remain only one color, pink. If you concentrate on the cross in the middle, after a while you will notice that this moving pink dot will turn green! Keep looking at the cross a bit longer and youll notice that all dots except the green one will disappear It's amazing how our brain works There really is no green dot, and the pink ones really don't disappear. This should be proof enough; we don't always see what we think we see!
- 24. Thats all Folks Have a blessed and wonderful day Always!
