The human eye is truly an incredible part of the body. It is one of the first things that we notice about people and the reason we notice it is because we also use our eyes all day long. We are constantly taking in information from the world around us, such as the sounds, smells, and tastes that we come in contact with. It is our sense of sight, however, that really is at the lead and some experts feel that most of the way that we interact with our world is through that sense. That doesn’t mean that it is perfect, and there are some things that might even surprise you about our ability to see.
One thing that our eyes love to do is to see a pattern that is recognizable. That is why we can look out over a crowd of people and recognize a familiar face in the middle of it. It’s amazing when you stop to think about it but it also is something that can handicap us in some ways. For example, when we look at a pattern of objects, our eyes may not see something that doesn’t quite fit in. That is the case with the following 4 pictures. They may look like the same thing time after time but there is something hidden in the picture that is difficult to see.
