Snake Illusion (Automatic rotating circles) - a sample optical illusion found in the 'Optical Illusions' category..

Optical Illusions

Our brain can sometimes interpret confusing information and images (usually made up of colour, lines and irregular shapes) incorrectly, and produce unusual results. Some artists take advantage of this supposed 'disadvantage' and create some stunning and varied pieces.
Optical Illusions

Stroop Test (Saying the colour; not the word) - a sample brain exercise found in the 'Brain Training' category.

Brain Training

Specific activities to keep your brain stimulated, and can help improve your focus and concentration. This form of brain activity was made popular by Nintendo's Brain Training series for the DS; oddly however, even though it could be considered 'work', most of the activities are also quite fun to do.
Brain Training

Missing Blocks(what colours should fill the gaps) - a sample brain puzzle found in the 'Logic and Cognitive Puzzles' category.

Logic and Cognitive Puzzles

Cleverly devised puzzles to confuse the mind. Logic puzzles involve the arrangement of shapes, and are generally based on 'everyday' activities. Cognitive puzzles are slightly more cryptic, and usually involve the use of 'thinking traps' to confuse the reader.
Logic and Cognitive Puzzles

Sheep Deception (Seeing sheep as naked men) - a sample brain deception found in the 'Brain Deceptions' category.

Brain Deceptions

The mind is bombarded with visuals and sound. Your consciousness has to repeatedly fit all this data together and make sense of it. Unless a major change occurs to grab your attention, your brain will not interpret your surroundings correctly. Interested? This is the category for you.
Brain Deceptions

The catch-all for everything else brain related. Haven't found anything you fancy elsewhere? Try your luck in here ... the weird, the wacky, the just incredible!.

Miscellaneous Matters

Anything that doesn't fit into the above categories is filed here. It however is not a catch all 'Off Topic'. There is a place on the forum for that, but here is strictly mind related business, for example, 'how to make cool sites' is not allowed, but 'magic' is.
