Brain Teasers: Spot the Difference
By: Alvaro Fernandez
Dr. Pascale Michelon recently shared with our readers which brain areas and cognitive functions are engaged as we solve the type of brain teaser known as Spot the Difference, where we have to find the differences between two versions of one image:
“1) You have to identify the objects that you see: this involves your occipital lobes 
(in red).
2) You have to analyzed the spatial relationships between the objects that you see: this involves your occipital and parietal lobes (in green).
3)Â You have to remember what you see in one picture and compare it to what you see in the other picture, that is you have to use your short-term memory: this involves your frontal (in blue) and parietal lobes.
4)Â You have to mark down the locations where you see a difference: this involves mostly your frontal lobes (for the movement)”.
Â
Ready! Set! Go!:Â how many differences can you spot, and which ones?

i found 11 differences
13!
13
17!
I see 12!
I think you can debate what is actually a difference or maybe just a fainter bit of colour as each one does not have everything perfectly identical…
WHAT’S THE ANSWER?
I got 15
i c 12!
no wait….. i c 13 now
my bad….i c 15 now! lol
There are 15 differences. I loaded both images into Photoshop on two layers. I used the difference filter and fifteen, and only fifteen differences were spotted. If there really are any more differences then they are so slight that the author is being a douche.
15. No doubt about it! Any one claiming more than that, will believe nothing is more than zero.
I found 17

Want to really notice something cool – cross your eyes so the two images merge (they will since they’re close to identical) then scan through it and you will notice where the differences are because wherever there is a change it will seem kind of not natural
12
