CIRCLES OR SQUARES

Do you see dozens of little white circles on the diagram below? Look a little more closely and you will realize that no circles exist. The circles that you seem to see are illusions, created by your mind. But the question is why do they look like circles instead of little white squares?

 

HOW  DOES  IT  WORK?

 

In this instance, disconnected images form an interrupted pattern. The mind in its own way tried to fill in the missing part of the pattern to make it a whole. Where the brain expects the lines of the pattern to connect to a continuous grid, circles appear. Now the question is why circles? This is probably because our eyes and brain are used to natural shapes such as circles rather than geometrical ones such as squares.
