Facial Illusions

Facial illusions show pictures of emotion. They could be drawn in ambiguous figures or camouflage illusions. Sometimes facial illusions are hard to find. An example is the famous "My Mother In Law" illusion

Do you see an old lday or a young woman?
Your mind can only interpret one facial image at a time, but they are both there.

Another type of facial illusion uses photographs that have been altered to trick your eyes. In the following presidential illusion, who do you see? President Clinton and Al Gore, right?

Look again. Both faces are actually Bill Clinton, but we see the second figure as Al Gore because of his familiar suit and hair.
