Scientists reveal what your answer to the rabbit-duck illusion really says about you.

Duck-rabbit, Rubin 's vase, younger-older woman and horse-seal are popular optical illusions.

According to claims circulating online, exactly what you see first can reveal a lot about your personality.

Richard Wiseman , a psychologist at the University of Hertfordshire , set out to debunk the popular online claims.

The café wall optical illusion was first described by Richard Gregory , professor of neuropsychology at the University of Bristol , in 1979 .

When alternating columns of dark and light tiles are placed out of line vertically, they can create the illusion that the rows of horizontal lines taper at one end.

Effect depends on the presence of a visible line of gray mortar between the tiles.

Diagonal lines are perceived because of the way neurons in the brain interact.
