COOL OPTICAL ILLUSIONS 2!

      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?

Here's More - You Decide. Enjoy! :)

All the dots on this image are white, but some appear black. No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to look directly at the black dots that appear in the circles. Why this illusion works is still a mystery.

By manipulating the human brain and eyes, Brusspup is able to create amazing animations with nothing but a black card.

They even manage to fool cats.

While it looks like the top square is much darker than the bottom, they're exactly the same colour except at the edges. Hold your finger completely over the boundary between the two shapes (where the red arrow is pointing) and the colours will be corrected. The Cornsweet illusion exploits a phenomenon in the brain known as lateral inhibition which creates more contrast between the two objects because of the differently colored edges.

These three cars may look like they're different sizes, but in reality, they're all exactly the same. The Ponzo illusion happens because our brains judge an object's size based on its background. If something is the same size as another object, but looks further away, we'll think that it's bigger.

Even after you 'know' that the cars are of the same size, your brain simply refuses to see it that way.

Stare at the green dot too long and the yellow spots will disappear. This illusion is called the Troxler effect and however hard it may be to believe - the yellow dots are always present. Unvarying images very quick to disappear from our awareness, especially when they're surrounded by constantly changing imagery.

This image has a similar effect, stare at the cross in the centre and the pink dots will vanish.

Akiyoshi Kitaoka uses geometrical shapes, brightness and colour to create motion illusions. These images are not animated, but the human brain makes them appear so.

Using similar techniques, Randolph is able to create similar, more psychedelic illusions.

Using clever design, artists like Ibride are able to create pieces of art that look different or even impossible depending on the angle.

Cover the sides of the hallway with your hands and the animation speeds up, cover the middle and the animation speeds down.

These horizontal lines appear to be sloping, but look long enough, and you'll see that they're parallel to one another.

Shangrala's Cool Optical Illusions 2
The photograph of the Leaning Tower of Pisa on the right appears to lean more to the right. In reality, they're identical photographs and the towers are parallel. two towers are parallel, then from a ground perspective they'd eventually converge into one another. So, when your eyes and brain see two towers that are parallel, they assume that they must be moving apart as they rise into the air and create the resulting illusion.

Look Long enough at the spinning woman and she'll change directions for you!
