Optical illusions, which present visual discrepancies to the brain, reveal how your brain interprets and processes visual information. They demonstrate how the brain makes assumptions, fills in gaps, and relies on cues to create a three-dimensional perception of the world.
These illusions can highlight the brain's remarkable ability to make sense of the world. But mind you, the brain is also susceptible to being tricked by optical illusions.
The brain is constantly making predictions and assumptions about what it should see based on past experiences and contextual cues. Optical illusions expose these assumptions by presenting visual elements that contradict these expectations.
When the visual data is incomplete, the brain tries to create a complete, coherent image. Illusions demonstrate this by creating the perception of shapes or boundaries that aren't actually present.
An optical illusion involving seemingly identical images tricks the brain into glossing over minor inconsistencies and misinterpreting the image, thus making it harder to spot subtle differences.
This is what today's optical illusion will test. Can you spot one odd letter in the sea of identical-looking M's in 5 seconds? We will let you in on a secret. Most, 98 percent of people, failed to spot it in 5 seconds. Some took longer than 15 seconds to finally see it.

Here is your challenge. As you may see in the image above, identical-looking M's have been arranged in a neat order.
But there is one sneaky letter hiding in plain sight.
Now, optical illusions designed to spot an odd letter seem easy. But these require a combination of sharp visual focus and strategic scanning.
These puzzles can be fun brain exercises that enhance visual perception and concentration.
Start scanning the image row by row and column by column.
This will help to avoid missing any subtle differences that might be hidden in plain sight.
The odd letter might be slightly different in shape, orientation, or simply a different letter that looks similar.
Pay attention to the lines and curves of the letters. Any missing line or loop or tail can help you spot the odd letter.
Use your peripheral vision. It can be helpful in spotting inconsistencies or patterns that stand out.
These puzzles can be challenging, so do not get discouraged.
Take your time and keep looking.
Do not give up.
You can do it.
