COOL OPTICAL ILLUSIONS!

      Warning: This article contains flashing colors, shapes, and will make you question reality. When you consider how complex the human brain is, it's amazing that we've found ways to manipulate it so significantly.
      They say 'seeing is believing.' But can you really trust what you see?

Check These Out And Decide. Enjoy! :)
Shangrala's Cool Optical Illusions
The dinosaurs' eyes follow you wherever you go... It's called the 'hollow face illusion,' and it works because your brain assumes that anything resembling a face is convex, rather than concave. Even though the eye to your right is technically farther away from you, your brain believes that because the image is a face, it must actually be closer.

A similar illusion, called the 'hollow mask' is sometimes used to detect Schizophrenia. A healthy brain will see a concave face, like the back of a hollow mask, as a normal convex face. The brains of Schizophrenia patients aren't fooled by this illusion, and they see a hollow mask for what it is - a hollow mask.

The magnificent Amelymeloptical illusion leaves objects floating in mid air. The method was developed by French juggler Lindzee Poi - to fool your eyes and blow your mind. Of course, this magician has refused to reveal his secrets.

You probably won't believe it, but the squares marked 'A' and 'B' are actually the exact same shade of grey.

Shangrala's Cool Optical Illusions
Your eyes and brain are constantly trying to figure out the colour of the objects around you, and they automatically adjust for shadows. Since B is in the shade of the green cylinder, but is still the same colour as A, the brain believes that it must be a far lighter shade of grey and adjusts what you see.

These yellow and blue blocks appear to move one after the other, right? When the black bars are removed, you'll see that they're always parallel and that the black bars are distorting your brain's deception of movement.

Stare at the center of the colored version, and wait for it to change to black and white. Instead of turning black and white, your brain fills in the color it thinks you should be seeing, based on the orange and blue photo. Blink and you'll be back to black and white.

Fix your eyes on the black dot and the grey stripe will turn blue or green. As you focus on the dot, the grey begins to merge with the orange background. The moment you look away from the dot, the bar will return to grey.
