Can you see a man in the ambiguous image?
Today we bring you an image to help you understand the optical illusion. A popular example of a cognitive illusion is the image called “My Wife and My Mother-in-Law.” Some people can only see a young woman looking away from the picture, wearing a thick coat and a veil or a fancy hat. Others can only see the side view of an old woman with a big nose, also wearing a thick coat and a veil or a fancy hat. There are also some who can see both images. It depends on what the brain sees, based on familiarity.
How many times have you looked at a photo or image and thought something was wrong with it, but you just couldn’t figure out what it was? Do you sit there and ponder over the image trying to determine where you went wrong and what needs to be done to make it right?
It has been said that your mind can play tricks on you, but many people don’t realize how powerful the mind can be. You can look at something once and never notice a problem because your mind can correct the problem while looking at the image or reading the passage.
In fact, we often ask you to look at an image to understand which of the figures present catches your attention the most . This device is used to understand how your brain analyzes the images in front of you and why it chooses one over the other.
Can you spot a man in the ambiguous image? We won’t give you a time limit, but we’ll make it clear that the most agile people take a maximum of 20 seconds to identify him!
Igor Lysenko is a talented Russian artist who has been working as a stage painter at the Drama Theatre for the past 12 years. Most importantly, he specializes in double vision and “secret paintings”. Each of his paintings includes an element of surprise – a hidden motive, so to speak. Igor’s portfolio is dominated by a surrealistic atmosphere, or is it just me? I can’t quite pinpoint why, but I get this impression a lot!
