Visual illusions make you

Attend the kind of visual illusion "scams" your brain at a glance.

Visual illusions (Optical Illusions) are still known as deceiving eyes . This mechanism of deception is based on the principle of human vision. When the retina receives light, the brain needs about 1/10 second to process and convert the received signals. During this time, the brain will anticipate what will happen next to show its intelligence.

However, with these visual illusions, your brain will guess 100% wrong.

1. Still images know how to move themselves

Take a closer look at the picture below 10 seconds and you will see the magic happen.

What do you see when you look at this photo?

If you see the heart in the middle of an unusually bulging, congratulations, you've been "tricked" by this visual illusion. Obviously, this is a still image so why do we see objects in the image "wiggling" for a long time?

According to experts, the opposite colors in the picture make many cells in the brain react. They make you look in a certain direction. However when looking long, the cells are over tired and regulate you look in the opposite direction.

As a result, your eyes feel that objects in the frame suddenly move without understanding why.

2. Illusion "peel off" selfie tricks

Have you ever wondered why hot girls always know how to take beautiful selfies, cover their shortcomings and become younger than their real age?

The answer will be right after you look at this photo.

Want to look younger and more beautiful, simply raise the camera from top to bottom.

The picture above is a classic visual illusion. Accordingly, the brain tends to assess the age of people based on the viewing angles. For example, with the original photo (center), when the chin is extended, it will create a sense of age for the image viewer (right photo). Conversely, if the upper forehead is larger, the man in the picture will be a dozen years younger (photo left)!

That is the most commonly used procedure when taking selfies.Want to look younger and more beautiful, simply raise the camera from top to bottom.

3. Illusion of different paths

Focus on looking at the picture below and see what is the most different of the three models below!

When the picture moves, it is the first and the third street that are "twins".

Most of us, when looking at this picture, feel the first and second paths are the same. However, the reality is that when the picture moves, it is the first and the third street that are "twins".

This illusion is explained by scientists as follows: When placed next to two images they are basically the same (only slightly changed in size or some small details) like the first and the second two, human eyes will default to the same. And just when moving away, the brain knows how it was tricked.

4. Illusion moving water waves

In fact, all rectangles in the image above are still.

See the picture above what do you see? Seems like rectangles are moving like conveyor belts in a factory?

But the truth is not so. In fact, all rectangles stand still. But they change color (yellow - green) for each other continuously. At that time, the brain will encounter hallucinations "move the water flow" - that is to see rectangles such as water waves slamming up and down.

5. Illusion Ebbinghaus version of the 21st century

The Ebbinghaus illusion is a classic "prank" visual show in history. Accordingly, the two circles are the same size but the eyes will be tricked into a big, small image with this illusion.

This is explained by the fact that the brain tends to compare the size of objects.

This is explained by the fact that the brain tends to compare the size of objects. When the surrounding shapes are smaller than the center image, we have a feeling that the center is bigger than normal and vice versa.

Recently, however, the research team included Christopher D.Blair, Gideon P. Caplovitz and Ryan EB Mruczek combined a zooming-in motion to create the new Ebbinghaus illusion. Enjoy them via the following video:

The results were impressive, when we focused on the central image, it seemed that nothing had changed but when focusing on looking at the surroundings, this effect became extremely clear, at least twice as much. with the classic Ebbinghaus illusion.

6. Illusion walking pigeons

Developed by experts from Japan Meiji University, this illusion mechanism is similar to the motion picture phenomenon. 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 black and white stripes. However, after a while, you will feel like they are moving in opposite directions (taking a step back a bit).

This illusion is a rectangle moving at a constant speed in front of black and white stripes.

And when combined with the image of a pigeon, your brain will feel like a bird moving your head just like the real thing.
