Amazing optical illusion.. look in

[Deimos Anomaly]

The squares A and B are exactly the same colour.

(I was skeptical myself. I used mspaint to check, and also printed it and cut them out and compared them. They're identical.)

:waits for something to jump out and scream at him:



Yeah, I've seen this before. Pretty nifty.

 

[hamudm]

Cool beans.

 

[Trekker4747]

If you stare at it enough and kind of glaze over your eyes you can see it.

 

[Kestra]

Crazy! I love things like this.

 

[Rÿcher]

I can't see it. one's lighter gray, the other darker.

Exactly. You're perceiving them as two different shades ever though they're exactly the same.

I can't see it. one's lighter gray, the other darker.

Try holding your fingers up to cover the squares around those two a bit. It makes it easier to see.

 

[Ruaidhri]

Wow. That's pretty cool. Thought it was BS until I let the focus in my vision go slack and then it was pretty obvious.

 

[indranee]

Trying but so far no can do. what am I supposed to look at? which square? I find myself staring at the square between.

have you seen the one with the female figure spinning? Some people claim she's spinning counter-clockwise, some people claim she's spinning clockwise. Guess it has to do with what part of the brain you predominantly use.

The square labeled "A" and the square labeled "B" are both the same shade.

It's a fake.

It's a fake.

If it was fake then people couldn't make her 'change direction' at will, but it's possible.

Hard, but possible.

 

[Guartho]

It took a bit. I was finally able to make her switch by tilting my head 90 degrees and sort of "willing" her to. A couple of times she'd switch back while I tilted my head back up.

I disagree. The human brain is a fascinating and complex machine with far more potential than for what we have used it.

which is why I like experimenting with mind-altering things. To experience altered states of perception. Here and now - boring, stoned can be kinda fun sometimes - the thoughts, the illusions, the colors, the paresthesia, all very fascinating. It's like, "whoa, I wouldn't have ever thought of that before!"
