Our brains are wired to notice certain changes around us, but what about when we look at pictures? If we try to spot something in an image that shouldn’t be there, can we do it? Let’s find out! Can you find the ghost in today’s picture challenge?
Why You Should Practice These Types of Puzzles
First off, let’s tell you why it’s so important to practice puzzles like these. Did you know these logic image puzzles can benefit your brain in numerous ways? When we try to find something in a picture that shouldn’t be there, we are working parts of our brain we usually don’t have to. However, this has an incredible benefit for our grey matter.
“Dan Simons, a psychologist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, says that’s because if we spotted everything, we’d be unable to focus our attention. So our brain fails to log details it deems unimportant. When we flip back and forth trying to find them, we can’t because we never noticed them in the first place. However, once we do see the disparity, it gets stored as one of the obvious elements, and then we can’t seem to unsee it.”
