Warning: This article contains flashing colors, shapes, and will make you
question reality. When you consider how complex the human brain is, it's
amazing that we've found ways to manipulate it so significantly.
They say 'seeing is believing.' But can you really trust what you see?
Here's More - You Decide. Enjoy! :)
Believe it or not, this floor is completely flat.
What color are the circles in this photo? Most people see four different
circle colors.
This colorful image went viral in mid-July after its creator, University of Texas
professor, Dr. David Novick, shared it on Twitter. Despite what you may see, it
turns out all the circles are actually the same color. 'The differences are subtle,
though, and depend on the size of the image when it's viewed,' Dr. Novick tweeted.
Dr. Novick's image, which he calls 'Confetti,' is an example of a classic optical
illusion known as a Munker illusion. According to Danish professor Michael Bach,
the Munker illusion reveals how much our perception of color is influenced by other
surrounding colors.
At first glance, this photo seems to depict a man leaning over and embracing a
woman who is sitting at her desk. Who's wearing these black heels?
If you look at the photo again, you'll start to question whose legs you're
actually seeing.
But the general consensus online seemed to be that the woman in the photo is the
one wearing heels while the man is actually sitting down.
This person's tattoo makes it appear like he has a giant hole in his arm.
What color is this dresser? What color do you see: pink and white or blue and gray?
The dresser was actually painted blue and gray in real life. The 'reddish' lighting
of the photo makes the 'unsaturated gray' parts of the dresser appear pink. The
lighting also 'warms' the 'cold' blue parts of the dresser, which makes them
appear white.
At first glance, this looks like a normal newspaper. But look closer and you'll
realize that it actually has a hidden '3D' kitchen.
Creative director Felipe Salazar and graphic designer Karen Castaneda turned a
newspaper into an ad for HiperCentro Corona supermarket. The two artists
manipulated the paper's text to look like a '3D' kitchen, using their design
to add the illusion of depth. In reality, the paper is completely flat.
Is this cat going up or down the stairs? This innocent photo of a cat went viral
back in 2015 as people wondered whether the animal was going up or down the flight
of stairs. Most believe it is going down.
Is this shoe pink and white or teal and gray?
The shoe is actually pink and white in real life. Your perception of the shoe's color depends on your individual sensitivity
to the lighting in the image.
Here's another example - Is this dress blue and black or white and gold?
People either saw it as black and blue or white and gold - and both sides
were convinced that they were right.
As you probably know by now, the dress turned out to be black and blue.
Since the photo of the dress was taken in poor lighting with a bluish tint,
your brain either sees the dress in shadows (and color-corrects the dress
to be white and gold) or in 'a fair amount of illumination' (and perceives
the dress as blue and black).
Can you find the cat in this photo?
People had a hard time finding the tan-colored cat, which blended in with the
piles of chopped wood.
While the floor is completely flat, the carpet's designer added large spaces
between certain lines to add depth and create a crater-like effect.
This image is another 'cafe wall' illusion named by psychologist Richard Gregory
in the 1970s. It's a classic optical illusion that dates back to the late 1800s.
When the image is blurred, you can see that the lines are perfectly parallel and
perpendicular to one another.
There's a phone hidden somewhere in this picture.
Did you find it? Thanks to its floral case, the phone blended in perfectly
with this patterned rug.
The neon blue lines make it appear like there is a light blue circle in
the middle of this image, but the background is white throughout.
This photo of Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, and Hailey Baldwin went viral earlier
this year - but not for the reason you might think. People were quick to point
out that Kendall's left leg seems to be missing.
Kendall's left leg was hidden under the folds of her dress. If you look closely at
Kendall's dress, you can see the outline of her left leg against the orange fabric.
The model is pointing her left knee to her right side and twisting her body around
to look directly into the camera.
Despite what you may think, the gray rectangles under columns
A and B are the exact same color.
Is this child underwater or not? This is a photo of a girl who appears to be underwater
at first glance. However, she also looks like she's jumping into water, which makes
no sense.
She's definitely not underwater - here's the proof. While the filtered light and
air bubbles make it seem like the girl is underwater, a few clues prove that she's
not - her hair is dry, her ponytail isn't floating in the water, and the 'air bubbles'
are actually just drops of water.
The two orange circles in this image are exactly the same size.
Since the blue circles surrounding the orange circle on the left are so large,
the orange circle looks smaller in comparison. Juxtapose that with the tiny
blue circles on the right, and the orange circle appears relatively larger.
Do these legs look oily or shiny to you? An art student named Hunter Culverhouse
first shared this photo. It turned out the legs were completely dry. '[I] had some
white paint left on my brush and put random lines on my legs,' Culverhouse said.
While the effect was unintentional on Culverhouse's part, the white streaks made
it look like a glare of light was reflecting off the student's legs.
The middle of these shapes look like they're tinted by the light orange outlines,
but it's an illusion. Known as a watercolor illusion, this effect occurs when a
white area is surrounded by a thin, brightly-colored line which is itself
surrounded by a thin, darker border.
The blue diagonal line on the left looks longer than the one on the right,
but they're actually the same length.
The shapes in this photo are genuine mirror images of each other. This illusion was
named the 'Best Illusion of the Year' in 2016 by the Neural Correlate Society.
It's called the 'Ambiguous Cylinder Illusion'.
