The truth is that when the photo is turned upside down, Adele's face is distorted . pathetic.

You see, the fact is that when the photo is turned upside down, Adele's face is distorted . pathetic. Her eyes and lips turned upside down in the most horrifying way possible.

A lot of people who know this truth are very shocked. Many people even dropped their phones, at the same time . just because they were too startled. But besides, most of them were curious about why, when turned upside down, the horror picture became too normal in our eyes?

In fact, this is a very strange phenomenon of the brain called "Thatcher illusion" , discovered by British scientist Peter Thompson in 1980.

This is a very strange phenomenon of the brain called "Thatcher illusion".

This phenomenon has not had an official explanation. One of the hypotheses posed in this phenomenon is due to brain habits. Scientists believe that the way the brain recognizes faces is thanks to available information - such as the distance between the nose and mouth, or the distance between the eyes.

However, when the face is upside down, the brain will not be able to analyze it anymore, simply because our face does not normally turn back like that.

Therefore, the brain will tend to process information very briefly and make many predictions, including the abnormal face turning into normal like the Thatcher illusion.

This phenomenon has not had an official explanation.

Some scientists have another explanation: the brain shapes what we see. When looking at an object, the brain will tend to predict and orient what our eyes should " see, " based on information such as where we stand, the position of the object, the details of the object.

Because the brain always shapes the eyes and lips must be placed in the right direction, we find these pictures so strange. However, when turning the face upside down, the available orientations from the brain will make the face less peculiar.
