Illusion of a mysterious girl makes you chill after 15 seconds

Since the appearance of the black and white gold dress, visual illusions have always received much attention from public opinion and especially the Internet user community. Most recently, social network users have handed each other a negative picture that causes a pretty scary visual illusion. This is a new illusion image , but so far, scientists have given a detailed explanation for this phenomenon.

Accordingly, the photo consists of two parts, with the left half being a portrait of a girl adjusted as a negative image and the right half completely blank.

To experience this visual illusion, viewers need to focus on looking at the white dot on the girl's face for 15 seconds, then switch to looking at the right part of the image. Miracle will immediately appear!

Have you seen anything strange happening? Reactions from the online community show that most will see the figure of a mysterious woman appearing on the white background on the right. Isn't that amazing?

So what is the cause of this illusion? From a scientific perspective, this is a visual illusion formed from the mechanism of ganglion cells in the eye . These cells inherently function to identify and encode complementary color pairs with the colors available in the image and then send the message to the brain.

According to Dr. Juno Kim of the University of Accreditation and Telescope Science in Australia, this coding can be applied to all colors of human eyes visible in the light spectrum. After coding, nerve signals are transmitted to the brain via 3 neuron channels.

When we focus on looking at something for too long, ganglion cell activity becomes especially strong. However, after a short time these cells will weaken and function is impaired. For example, if you look at a red thing for too long, cells that help identify red will be weakened. At that time, the eye cells will make the red complementary color of green become stronger.

In the case of the original negative image , the cells that identify the color in the negative image will be weakened, making their complementary colors stronger. From there, if we look to the white side we will see the portrait of the woman with the right color.
