THIS is a black and white image as the first animated GIF frame. Focus on the center spot for 15 seconds, then the animation recycles. Notice anything... weird ?
Or, how about THIS PNG file ? It's a single frame... or is it ?
Got more ?

CCP should integrate some of these into the UI, so the whiners will have something genuine to complain about. -

Those ones are rather clever. Basically, your eyes adjust to the negative image, but they over-compensate, so when it goes back to the B&W image if you keep staring at the spot your eyes are turning everything to the correct colour. - Originally by: Tamia Clant in a Jenny Spitfire thread There was a flame here, but it ran out of oxygen.

That B&W one is in a class of it's own. Thanks for posting it.

Freaky. I don't understand the ones like the second one there - how can they appear to move?? Surely they can't KEEP moving, you'd see them 'jump' back to where they really are? Or something?

Edited by: Isiskhan on 07/07/2008 23:49:15 That castle is Manzanares el Real, which is right outside of my city. It's surrounded by the beautiful mountains of La Pedriza, great for hiking and filled with odd granite rock formations that acquire a peculiar reddish colour at sunset. You feel a bit like on another planet at that time of the day.
Anyway, this is one of my favourite optical illusions.

Here is another version of the same thing, though with the advantage of being able to pause it the second time though to prove to yourself that it really is a b/w picture :)

Just shows you what a heavily post-processed view of the world we have. What we see and what's really there differ hugely. -

I read an article (which i now cant find) that talked about how sciantists are starting to work out how the brain makes up for the fact that there is a fraction of a second delay between light hitting the eye and the brain getting a signal it can work with.
I don't remember the specifics, but it basically came down to the brain more or less making up what it expects you to see in a fraction of a seconds time.

A more interesting experiment is wearing vision-distorting goggles. After a couple of hours or a couple of days, you start not noticing you have them on and just go ahead as if nothing's wrong. Take them off, and the world appears completely distorted to you

One other thing to remember is that your peripheral vision is mostly in black and white - your eyes move rapidly to pick up surrounding colour. Hence, if you focus on one spot, the surround seems to lack colour. Wikipedia article.

So, for the first one, it took me a long time to figure out what was different about it. Finally I figured out that there's slightly more color in the frame than I expected (I'm... color "challenged").
For the second, I literally had to get heavy paper and overlay the monitor to make sure it wasn't moving. :-/

This is to do with how the retina pecieves color. The human eye percieves the world in a conbination of 3 colors; red, blue and green. The black and white are simply mixtures of those 3 primary colors. Now, if you stare at a single color long enough (e.g. a red square), the color cones become uber-aroused. When the stimulus is removed, the arousal rate doesn't just go back to normal, it drop BELOW normal, so for a few seconds you would be unber-unaroused red cones.
Therefore if you do that weird color-thing and stare at it, then go back to the black and white, what you're seeing isn't real color, it's simply an illusion caused by various level of reduced arousal.
zomg..I'm actually using my edumacations!
edit: the classical example, which unfortunatly works far better in a lecture theatre, is the American Flag one.

If you are epileptic or suffer easily from motion sickness, don't look at this link. No, really, I mean it. If you don't believe the image isn't moving, try printing it.

I like this one the best because it makes people angry. "NO there different shades NO NO NO... head explodes"
I read about the experiments on human sight. I like the one where they found that if you have someone hanging upside down long enough there brain will flick the image around the correct way. So that when they are placed back on there feet there view of the world is upside down again.
I can imagine that being incredibly disconcerting. Though thankfully it's only temporary. :) |

If you're on about the OP then on the first one stare at the black dot in the center and after the 15 seconds it'll switch back to the B&W pic. DO NOT move your eye's and you should then see the B&W pic as colour. Move your eyes and it goes back to B&W.

The spinning girl made its rounds here awhile back. Personally I could never get her to reverse her spin and yet people would swear she is spinning a direction different from me. Fortunately that page has some aids which help you do it.

I prefer this version as I can make it appear to change direction if I concentrate on the shadow of her right leg.
