Features: In our daily lives, we generally rely on the subtle movement of our eyes to observe various things. However, simply looking is not enough—we also need our brains to judge distances, capture various pieces of information, and process them before they become the images we perceive. After looking at the image of the eye and brain on the back page, you will know that the eye moves through the activity of six muscles. But as we age, these muscles begin to deteriorate. In modern life, there are many reasons for the decline of eye muscles, and it is not solely related to age. Constantly stimulating the brain by repeatedly recalling past experiences and scenes is a form of brain training. How can we exercise our brains? First and foremost, it is important to look. But what is even more important is the method of looking. The Little Prince is a very famous book. It contains an illustration of a hat. However, the protagonist, the prince, answers that it is a "snake that swallowed an elephant." In fact, both answers are correct. In short, we must discard the prejudice that "no matter how much you look at a hat, it will always be a hat." Additionally, free imagination is also very important, such as: "It looks like a hat, but perhaps it could be something else." Through this kind of imagination, we can always access various pieces of data stored deep in our brains. This Magical Atlas collects special images and photographs that require us to discard such prejudices to view.
