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.

@Sheril took me a while but I got circles. It's incredible!

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

@Sheril I see the circles when I focus on them, but in my peripheral vision I only see the rectangles.

@Sheril
Rectangles at first, then circles.(I can flip them.)
Unfocusing a bit, or focusing past it, I get the 3-D effect, though the second row isnt' as good that way.

@Sheril I just see a bunch of white and gray lines.

@Sheril 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"

@Sheril The circles showed up after staring at it for a while, but they won't stay.

@Sheril I see both, but I'm very tired, so my brain is probably just weird. :)

These things are always interesting, though.

@Sheril I saw the circles at first glance, then read your post and could only see the rectangles. Had to glance away and look back before the circles reappeared.

@Sheril I see a horrible cacophony of sounds. 🙄 Some sounds are round, some edgy.

@Sheril circles?? lol Who in their right mind would see circles? This must be one of those troll posts.. there's no way a circle is..... well I'll be damned! 😮

@Sheril

Aaaaaah! Part of it is squares, part of it is circles! And they change when my eye shifts!

@Sheril It doesn't look like anything to me.

Westworld quotes aside, the response from @snooks helped me to see the circles.

@Sheril I actually see them all. I'm at the age of using "snake eyes" like Dustin Hoffman in Little Big Man for large area gazing

@Sheril I see rectangles. I found the circles, but rectangles are still dominant for me.

@Sheril 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?

@Sheril initially rectangles, but I can more or less switch between rectangles and circles at will.
