@SeeThatMagic — dividing fans with what they see. “Stare at the middle of the screen, put your nose to the screen and pull away slow,” the writing on the screen explains.“What number do you see?”[Warning: Spoilers ahead.]Users commented on what they saw — or didn’t see — after marveling over the illusion.“I saw 350,” one user exclaimed.“I saw five,” said another, whereas many other users swore they saw zero.The magic number you should see hidden is zero, due to a visual phenomenon called an autostereogram, referring to an image that tricks our eyes and brains to create the illusion of a three-dimensional image from a two-dimensional image.What’s the number? #eyemagic #magic #wow #crazy #eye #test #challengeIf trippy colors are your thing, puzzle lovers are straining their brains over another optical illusion that reportedly fools the viewer into thinking that they have gone colorblind.
Most people can’t tell what color this optical illusion really is
01.08.2022 - 17:13 / nypost.com
current optical illusion craze, with people amazed by the scientific phenomenon.In the image, created by Japanese psychologist Akiyoshi Kitaoka, a small square can be seen traveling across a rectangle that’s half pink and half blue with a blended combo of the colors in between.The quadrilateral appears gray while moving in the pink space, then seemingly adopts a pink hue when in the blue.[Warning: Spoilers ahead.]However, as Kitaoka explains in the caption, while the “moving square appears to change in color” its pigment is actually “constant.”A moving square appears to change in color, though the color is constant. pic.twitter.com/phzLNgfIZyThis chameleon-esque effect is caused by a principle called the chromatic induction effect, a perceived color shift that occurs “when one colored object moves around an identical stationary object,” per a 2016 study in the journal “Nature.”“The perceived saturation of the stationary object decreases dramatically whereas the saturation of the moving object increases,” the authors write.
“These color appearance shifts in the opposite directions suggest that normalization induced by the object’s motion may mediate the shift in color appearance.”In layperson’s terms, our minds make an assumption about the color of the moving object based on the objects surrounding it. In turn, this proves that our perception of color is subjective.
Social media was amazed at how well the illusion seemed to throw their color-vision off-kilter. “I watched for so long! Great illusion,” wrote one Twitter illusion buff after observing the revelatory retinal teaser.
