Duck-Rabbit Illusion
The duck-rabbit illusion is a classic example of an ambiguous figure, which can be perceived in two distinct ways. The drawing can be interpreted as either the head of a duck facing left or the head of a rabbit facing right. This phenomenon illustrates how the brain actively organizes and interprets the same sensory input to produce different perceptions.
