![]() ![]() This photo is an example of the “Munker-White” illusion and is an example of the human brain organizing colourful information based on its luminance. The optical illusion actually creates a disconnect between raw data and information (data put into context) by our brains.Ĭolours perceived by our eyes also take into account the colour surrounding it as well.Įssentially, by changing the colours of the stripes, we are also changing our perception of the spheres themselves. Very nice! This neatly matches the original with the foreground stripes removed. Novick confirms that with the foreground stripes removed, it becomes clear that all the spheres are simply brown and everything you’ve ever known in the universe unravels (at least, that was the case for me…) If you switch areas, a clearly “purplish” sphere might appear greenish or red-like. The puzzle can get even more trippy as the colours of the spheres tend to switch depending on which area of the image your eyes are focusing on. “Shrinking the image increases the effect.” “A three-color confetti illusion with spheres, which appear to be yellowish, reddish, and purplish but in fact have exactly the same light-brown base color (RGB 255,188,144),” wrote the professor in 2019. Novick says all the spheres are the same colour - brown. You see (literally), the spheres are floating behind streaks of red, blue, and green lines.Īnd that my friends, is what takes your brains for a ride.

All the spheres are actually brown.Īll the spheres are brown /81kEEyDXn6 Let’s get one thing straight: perception is not always reality and you can witness that truth in real-time thanks to a viral illusion that seems to show pink, green, and blue spheres.īut they’re not colourful at all. An older optical illusion has gone viral on Twitter, quite possibly frying your brain thanks to good ol’ fashion colours. ![]() If you want to take your brain for a ride, you’ve come to the right place. ![]()
