00:00Can you read between the lines or see something hidden in the images that look plain?
00:05Let's try with the first one.
00:08Did you see a woman here?
00:10Or the word HOPE?
00:12Both are correct, but it's cool how some people first see the woman and then the word,
00:17and for others, it's vice versa!
00:20One more cool thing about this illusion is that the letters HOPE are all perfectly aligned,
00:26but the background makes your brain think they are leaning.
00:29Looking at this one for too long can strain your eyes a bit, so let's move on to the second
00:33one.
00:35What color balls do you see here?
00:37I definitely see blue, red, and green ones.
00:41If you see the same colors, we're both wrong.
00:44In reality, all the balls here are of the exact same shade of brown.
00:49The lines in front and between them trick your brain into seeing more colors here.
00:54Alright, let's check out what's up here.
00:57Looks like an innocent gradient square at first, but I guess it can surprise us.
01:01Hey, is that square moving?
01:03It shouldn't be because the image is perfectly stable.
01:06It's like some 3D pattern magic!
01:10I mostly use ChatGPT when I run out of dinner ideas, but one Reddit user asked it to create
01:15a color humans have never seen before.
01:18I'm not sure if this can be called one color.
01:21I guess it's more of a conceptual vision of a color.
01:24People who also tried to see something here said strange things started happening.
01:29It must be sort of like a magic eye illusion that you have to stare through.
01:34Did you also read the word fame in this image after staring for a while, or was it just
01:39me?
01:40Here's another ChatGPT creation for you.
01:44The combo of shapes here and light and dark spots sends your brain on an endless spiral
01:49journey.
01:51One Redditor said they wouldn't mind living in this surreal village.
01:55I guess I'll join them.
01:57Let's try a more complex one, the coffer illusion.
02:01What do you see here?
02:03Let me guess, it's 20 squares.
02:06They're also known as coffers, those rectangular figures with sunken panels you can find on
02:11ceilings.
02:12This optical trap was discovered by a psychology professor who was doing his research for future
02:17experiments.
02:19Are you ready for the big reveal?
02:21There are 16 circles hiding between the squares!
02:25This illusion has become a real hit.
02:27You see squares first because your brain prefers to focus on corners and angles.
02:32It could be because sharp lines give it more critical information than straight curves.
02:37Plus, there are more rectangular shapes around us like computer screens, signs, and buildings.
02:45The next illusion has sparked some serious debates online.
02:48I'd like to hear your opinion on it.
02:50What's hiding behind all the colors?
02:52Is it a baboon or maybe a lion?
02:56Someone clearly saw a bear and one more option is a tarantula.
03:00Hmm, I guess I stand with those who see a human silhouette here.
03:05But there's no right or wrong answer here.
03:09Get ready for another illusion that has divided the internet.
03:13Some people say they feel like they're wearing 3D glasses while staring at this one.
03:18It seems like the red circle is on top and the blue one is just the background for it.
03:23Other people don't see anything special about this image.
03:27If you see that 3D effect, it's because of a cool trick that happens with your eyes when
03:31you look at certain colors next to each other.
03:34It makes it hard for your eyes to focus on both colors at the same time.
03:38This happens because the colors have different wavelengths, which are like the sizes of
03:43the waves of light that each color makes.
03:46Your brain can't put them together nicely and you start seeing things that aren't there.
03:51Now meet the impossible triangle, also known as the Penrose Triangle.
03:57Do you see what's wrong with it?
03:59A real triangle has three sides and each side connects smoothly to the next one.
04:04The Penrose Triangle looks like a normal one at first, but when you look closer, you
04:10see that one of its sides looks like it's both in front and behind the other side at
04:14the same time, which is not possible in real life.
04:19This is why it's called an impossible object.
04:22If you tried to build it with sticks or blocks, it wouldn't work because it breaks the rules
04:26of geometry.
04:27There are also other impossible shapes with four or more sides.
04:34Are you ready for the next illusion?
04:36The two red lines curved inwards, although they're perfectly straight in reality.
04:41This illusion is one of many tricks that make simple line drawings look strange or distorted.
04:47Scientists think it works like this because our brains try to make sense of the angles
04:51where the lines meet.
04:52When sharp angles are involved, our brains sometimes see them as bigger than they really
04:57are.
04:58In this illusion, blue lines cross the red lines, and this makes our brains see the red
05:03lines as bending inward.
05:06Alright, what do you see here?
05:09A bright white triangle on top of other figures?
05:13Congrats, you've just been tricked by the Kanika Triangle!
05:16There are no real triangles in the picture.
05:19What you're seeing are three shapes that look like Pac-Man.
05:24Our eyes and brains are really good at filling in missing pieces and seeing whole shapes,
05:28even when they aren't really there.
05:31This is why we see a triangle that looks brighter and seems to be sitting on top of
05:35the Pac-Man shapes, even though it's just an illusion.
05:39There's another similar trick called the Kanika Square.
05:42Here, your brain also sees a square that isn't really there.
05:49If you have a toy train track at home, you can see the next illusion in action.
05:54You'll need to take two segments of the same size and put them next to each other.
05:58One of them now looks way larger than the other one.
06:00But wait, you just saw with your own eyes the pieces are the same!
06:05It turns out that your brain compares the two sides of the pieces that are next to each
06:09other.
06:10It compares the right side of the track that's on the left to the left side of the track
06:14that's on the right.
06:16Let's move on before the train arrives.
06:21There are also 12 dots here, and all of them are the same color, lilac.
06:26Now try to stare at the cross in the middle of the dot ring.
06:30As one lilac dot disappears for a moment, a green dot takes its place.
06:35Wow!
06:36It also gradually wipes away other lilac dots one by one as it moves around the circle.
06:42This is the afterimage effect in action.
06:45The rods and cones adjust to the constant disappearance of lilac dots.
06:50They replace it with a color from the opposite end of the spectrum so it looks green to you.
06:57How many colors do you see here?
06:59Did I hear someone say 3 or was it 17?
07:02There's no correct or wrong answer here.
07:05Austrian physicist Ernst Mach first noticed this paradox.
07:09You can easily distinguish between similar colors or slightly contrasting shades when
07:14they're close to each other, but the further away they get from each other, the smaller
07:18the difference.
07:19At some point, it gets barely noticeable.
07:22If you can't see the difference between contrasting colors here at all, it could be because your
07:27brain is built differently, or your contrast and brightness settings are a bit off.
07:34How many black dots can you see in this image?
07:38There are 12 of them, but most people can't see them all at once, although they are perfectly
07:44visible.
07:45Your peripheral vision isn't that perfect, so you can only see each of the dots when
07:49you look directly at it, so your brain has to fill in the blanks.
07:55The white between gray lines makes it think the dots are lighter than they are, so it
08:00decides to pretend there's just more gray and the dots aren't there.
08:05That's it for today!
