Do you see a series of sunken rectangles or 16 circles?
This is The Coffer Illusion.
Our brains are geared toward identifying objects & here, “pixels” are grouped to form edges & contours, shapes, & objects. The image is inherently ambiguous so there is no “right” grouping.
Rectangles dominate first for most people - including me, but keep staring & the image may flip to circles.

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum • • •Still rectangles.
Tho this particular optical puzzle is new to me, my brain immediately lock down on the 90 degree angles everywhere which kinda stops it from flipping to circles?

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum • • •When I finally saw the circles… it kept flipping back to squares for me.
Even now that I can clearly see the circles, I still have trouble if I try to look at the whole image, as my brain keeps switching back to the squares. Wild!

🤣 I hadda turn off auto-rotate, skew it about 30° sideways, hold it out to the side of my vision, and focus on something further away, while trying not to focus on anything... then I started seeing J's.
Still no circles, tho.

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum • • •nope, rectangles
I guess I would say the rectangles feel "real" to me and the circles are illusory, I can see where they are but they don't seem "real"

I only starting seeing the circles when I zoomed in on the image. That's funny!
