The squares in this optical illusion are actually square, though they appear distorted. The distortions are consistent with
how squares in the real world would change their appearance if one were moving forward toward the center point.
In this so-called Hering illusion, the straight lines near the central point (vanishing point) appear to curve outward.
This illusion occurs because our brains are predicting the way the underlying scene would look in the next moment
if we were moving toward the middle point.
The bat in the picture below seems to flutter, move and/or expand.
Moreover, when you stare for a while at it and close your eyes you will see a white bat!
If you loom toward the center, optimally with short, quick movements, the fuzzy blobs appear to flow outward way faster
than they should. The blobs have these cues of motion in the blur, which tells your brain to anticipate that they've moved
farther than they have. (Illusion was created by David Widders.)

Called Rubin's vase or Rubin face, this ambiguous figure can be interpreted accurately in
two different ways, demonstrating our ability to shift between focusing on the figure and background.
The younger population tended to see the younger woman who is facing away, looking over her right shoulder
All I see is Nazi Pelosi, now excuse me while I wash my eyes out with bleach
I’ve always seen both.
I see the young woman and I’m 62.
Can’t see the old woman at all.
No old hag there! So the bull$hit about being able to deduce the age of the reader is a really big pile.
I don’t see an older woman. 58.
i see a lady in a black hat. is she the old one, the young one, or do i need glasses?!
I must be young at heart. Today, all I can see is a demur 20 year old woman with a fur wrap posing around 1890.
When I was younger, I could see the old woman, but she’s nowhere to be found now.
I guess this means I’m trying to find my lost youth.
I can’t see the old woman at all and I am 63.
Try as I might I cannot find an old woman in that pic at all
I am old and always see the young chick.
A man goes to a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist suggests they start with a Rorschach Test. He holds up the first picture and asks the man what he sees.
"People having sex in a park," the man replies.
The psychiatrist holds up the second picture.
"People having sex in a boat."
He holds up the third picture.
"People having sex at the beach."
This goes on for the rest of the set of pictures; the man says he see people having sex in every one of the pictures. At the end of the test, the psychiatrist looks over his notes and says, "It looks like you have a preoccupation with sex."
And the man replies, "Well, you're the one with the dirty pictures."
How many of you see both a young woman AND an old one?
I see a young woman—and on the day i was born, Sabres and MiGs were shooting at each other over Pyongyang.
All I could see at first was the old woman - after a few bong hits, both are clearly visible.

I see a young woman and I’m an old woman
Boy, that image puzzle has been around for a few decades. (I’ve always seen the young woman first.)
I always automatically see the young lady facing away. I always have to wait a while or will myself to see the old woman.
In fact, I have looked at the picture more than a dozen times and I just can’t see the old woman. It is not coming to me. I know it there because I’ve seen it in the past, but I just can make it out right now. All I see is the comely young lady looking away. Weird. I know I’ve seen the old woman in the past.
