List the types of visual illusions that “trick” your brain at a glance.
Optical Illusions are still known as images that deceive the eyes . This tricking mechanism is based on the principle of human vision. When the retina receives light, the brain needs about 1/10th of a second to process and convert the received signals. During this time, the brain will predict what will happen next to show its intelligence.
However, with these visual illusions, your brain will guess 100% wrong.
Take a close look at the photo below 10 seconds and you will see the magic happen.
What do you see when you look at this photo?
If you see an abnormally enlarged heart in the middle, congratulations, you have been “tricked” by this visual illusion. Obviously, this is a still image, so why do we see the object in the picture “wiggle” when we look at it for a long time?
According to experts, the contrasting colors in the picture cause many cells in the brain to react. They make you look in a certain direction. However, when you look at it for a long time, the upper cells get tired and regulate you to look in the opposite direction.
As a result, your eyes feel that objects in the frame suddenly move without knowing why.
Have you ever wondered why hot girls always know how to take beautiful selfies, hide their flaws and become younger than their real age?
The answer will be right after you look at this photo.
To look younger and more beautiful, simply raise the camera from top to bottom.
The photo above is a classic visual illusion. Accordingly, the brain tends to judge a person’s age based on perspectives. For example, with the original photo (middle), when the chin is stretched, it will create a sense of age for the viewer (right image). On the contrary, if the upper part of the forehead was larger, the man in the photo would look ten years younger (left photo)!
That is the trick that is commonly applied when taking selfies. To look younger and more beautiful, simply raise the camera from top to bottom.
Let’s focus on the picture below and see which path is the most different of the three models below!
When the picture moves, it is the first and third roads that are “twins”.
Most of us when looking at this photo feel that the first and second roads are exactly the same. However, in fact when the picture moves, it is the first and third roads that are “twins”.
This illusion is explained by scientists as follows: When placed next to two images that are essentially the same (only slightly changed in size or a few small details) such as the first and second roads. two, the human eye will default them to the same. And only when moving away does the brain know how it has been tricked.
In fact, all the rectangles in the image above are stationary.
What do you see in the photo above? Looks like the rectangles are moving like a conveyor belt in a factory?
But the truth is not so. Practically all rectangles are at rest. But they change colors (yellow – green) for each other continuously. At that time, the brain will experience the illusion of “water movement” – that is, seeing rectangles like water waves bobbing up and down.
The Ebbinghaus illusion is a classic visual “prank” in history. Accordingly, two circles have the same size but the eye will be tricked into thinking that one is large and the other is small with this illusion.
This is explained by the brain’s tendency to compare the sizes of objects.
This is explained by the brain’s tendency to compare the sizes of objects. When the surrounding shapes are smaller than the central figure, we get the impression that the central figure is larger than normal and vice versa.
However, recently, a team including Christopher D. Blair, Gideon P. Caplovitz and Ryan EB Mruczek have combined additional zooming – zooming movements to create a completely new version of the Ebbinghaus illusion. Let’s enjoy them through the following video:
The results are impressive, when we focus on the center image, nothing seems to change but when we focus on the surrounding shapes, the effect becomes extremely clear, at least 2 times more with the classic Ebbinghaus illusion.
Developed by experts at Japan’s Meiji University, this illusion mechanism is similar to the phenomenon of a moving still image. Check out the video below to learn more about them:
In fact, this illusion is a rectangle moving at a constant speed in front of the black and white stripes. However, after looking at it for a while, you will feel like they are moving in 2 opposite directions (one step forward and a little back).
This illusion is a rectangle moving at a constant speed in front of the black and white stripes.
And when combined with the image of a pigeon, your brain will see it as a bird moving its head like the real thing.
