Re: Optical Illusions

haha I know it’s so annoying I try to make it come to the front but it has a mind of it’s own and only works when it wants to. :frowning:

Re: Optical Illusions

Very nice thread! I too like such stuff, I wanted to post one but I can not attach image. Please tell me what is wrong?

Re: Optical Illusions

Re: Optical Illusions

Oh, I’ve seen these ones before. Lets see if I remember correctly. The first one has 5 face? and second one has 4 faces and I see one dog and two birds.

Re: Optical Illusions

The Lilac Chaser- Look at the crosshair for a few seconds and watch what happens.

The Spinning Dancer- Based on an online survey with a sample size of 1600 people, only one third see the dancer spinning anticlockwise. Are you one of them?

Ebbinghaus Illusion- Which circle is bigger?

28

Re: Optical Illusions

Is there a prob if I see her spinning in both ways ? She switches from anticlockwise to clockwise in a second =/

Re: Optical Illusions

Yea I see it switch too. I think that’s suppose to be how it is.

Philo that’s a great idea, I didn’t think of it before. I will try doing it.

Re: Optical Illusions

I like wikipedia’s articles on the illusions. They always explain it!

Re: Optical Illusions

Look at the 3 dots on her nose for 30 seconds. Then blink your eyes on a white surface.
And report back.

BTW what’s the difference between the first and the second image ?

34

Re: Optical Illusions

Wow! this is so cool! Try it guys!

Difference is one is colour, other is black & white??

35

Re: Optical Illusions

I have seen a similar one to this. It’s pretty awesome!

Hmm the difference the colours are opposite? I dunno. :confused:

36

Re: Optical Illusions

Cool.

37

Re: Optical Illusions

Yup one’s normal, and the second one has RGB inverted to look more vampire-ish XD

Re: Optical Illusions

It’s not switching because it’s not really going round in the first place … The motion itself is an illusion … They are just pixels changing colour and the brain the does the rest … I perceive the switch but randomly … It is because I can to some degree configure my thoughts to see both.

Re: Optical Illusions

Yea I see what you are saying. I knew it wasn’t switching either but your explanation puts things into perspective better.
