Optical illusions are known to trick the mind

Optical illusions play with the mind. They trick the mind into seeing or not seeing something opposite to what the vision does. For example, there might be six hidden pictures inside a big picture but your mind will be able to outline only 3 out of them; while the pictures are lying in front of your eyes there would be no coordination between the brain and the vision to perceive them.

This or that?
