<p>If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, you will only see one color, pink. <br />If you stare at the black + in the center, the moving dot turns to green. <br />Now, concentrate on the black + in the center of the picture. After a short period of time, <br />all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see a green dot rotating if you're lucky!<br />It's amazing how our brain works. There really is no green dot, and the pink ones really don't disappear. <br /></p><p>This should be proof enough, we don't always see what we think we see. </p><p><img height="467" src="http://www.patmedia.net/marklevinson/cool/image.gif" width="467" border="0" /></p><p><a href="http://www.patmedia.net/marklevinson/cool/cool_illusion.html" target="_blank">Optical Illusion</a></p>

Actually, I just had him look at it. He can't tell what the colors are, but he sees the different shades. The odd thing is, when he follows the dot, he insists it's still changing colors (where we see them as all pink). He says they also move all over the gray square, but they never completely dissapear. Weird.

<p>If you notice you can see that the rotating light actually flashes green so that would explain why you see the green when you stare at the center.</p><p>It does not explain why you don't see the pink.</p><p>Crazy stuff.</p>

If you open this checkerboard one in Photoshop, select either square A or Square B with the magic wand tool (tolerance set to 8). Jump the selection to a new layer (Control J). Now use the move tool to drag that new layer back and forth between the original square A and square B. It's ridiculous. It seems to change color as you move it. God, our eyes are stupid.

You can also make a mask to cover all but the two squares. Again, set the tolerance of the magic wand tool to 8. Select both of the squares and invert your selection. On a new layer above the original, use the paint bucket to fill in the selection with any color (I used black). Now, you can quickly mask and unmask the original by turning the new layer's visibility on and off.

At the Ripleys Museum on 42nd Street they have optical illusion room. You walk over a bridge but the room itself in spinning & flashing so by the time you walk the 20ft out of the room you are so dizzy you feel sick.

If you are near to this picture, Mr Angry is on the left and Mrs Calm is on the right. If you view it from a distance, they switch places!

Option 1. Just look at this picture on your computer screen and vary the distance from which you look at it. For some people, even squinting or narrowing your eyes will work.

Option 2. Using the 'Save As' option (or equivalent) on your computer, save yourself a copy. Open it in Photoshop or any similar photo wrangling application. Use the zoom in and zoom out options to replicate viewing the picture close up or from far away.

Option 3. Save the picture and print it out on your laser printer, preferably using fairly high resolution (300dpi is sufficient) and as large as you can on the piece of paper. Stick this to a wall and then view it from far or near.

Option 4. Look at this page, where I've reproduced the exact same image at different scales. This should give you the same effect.

CREDITS This illusion was invented by Philippe G. Schyns and Aude Oliva of the University of Glasgow. It is featured on this web page: http://cvcl.mit.edu/gallery.htm , listed under 'Dr Angry and Mr Smiles'. It is taken from Schyns and Oliva's paper, "Dr Angry and Mr Smiles: when categorization flexibly modifies the perception of faces in rapid visual presentations, Nov 1998". It is a copyright image and if they tell me to take it off this web page, I will.

Go to your local magazine store and get Scientific American's issue on optical illusions and why we see what we perceive instead of what we see.

The cover uses the illusion below, This is a static image, any motion is made by you. Warning; clicking it to full size may make your eyes explode. You were warned.

The Illusions of Love
The way we see things depends on our frame of mind. In this illusion, Message of Love from the Dolphins, adult viewers see two nude lovers embracing. But when young children look at this image, they see only dolphins.



http://www.scientificamerican.com/media/gallery/82978496-ADA7-423C-CED9DB6BDA94D22B_2.jpg

A Perspective on 3-D Visual Illusions
The leaning tower illusion is one of the simplest visual tricks ever discovered, but it is also one of the most profound contributions to our understanding of depth perception. Three years ago Frederick Kingdom, Ali Yoonessi and Elena Gheorghiu of McGill University noticed that two identical side-by-side images of the Leaning Tower of Pisa appeared to lean at different angles. Because the two towers do not converge as they recede into the distance, the brain mistakenly perceives them as nonparallel and diverging.


A sampling of illusions. (http://www.scientificamerican.com/slideshow.cfm?id=169-best-illusions&photo_id=82E73156-A38B-D3F4-7AC207B8E10F4EDD)

Society harbors a strange obsession with seeing celebrities disheveled, out of makeup, and out of shape. The video featured here takes that fascination and turns it totally inside out, by using normal photographs of good-looking celebrities to illustrate what's known as the "Flashed Face Distortion Effect", an amazing optical illusion.
