Can you really trust your mind?

Let’s test it out…

Tricked you!

• The trick, an illusion of perspective called angular displacement confuses our eyes and makes these identical lines look different.

What this shows…

• The brain is wired to recognize faces, so presented with this inverted portrait, it ignores the distortions. Only do you see the real image when you flip it over in front of you. WEIRD!

What the research says…

• On average, females “read” better than males. The female brain is wired for empathy and understanding.

• Does this mean males aren’t empathetic? No! There are always exceptions to any research findings.
