FunTranscript
00:00Believe it or not, this optical illusion will let you know if you should drive in the rain
00:13or not.
00:14Take a look at this image.
00:16Try to find the sequence of numbers hidden inside it.
00:19OK, go!
00:22Did you say 3,452,839?
00:32If you did, then your contrast sensitivity is on point!
00:36The so-called contrast sensitivity helps you to clearly see the outline of small objects.
00:42If this feature is not well developed in your system, then you shouldn't really drive in
00:46the rain or even when it's foggy out.
00:53Take a look at this image.
00:55What animal is not depicted here?
00:57A rabbit, a duck, or a snail?
01:07The picture definitely doesn't depict a snail!
01:10Way to go if you got that right!
01:17How many different scenes can you spot in this image?
01:20Three?
01:21Four?
01:22Take a guess!
01:29It's only two!
01:30You should be able to see the chalice in the first scene.
01:33And then, when you change your focus, you should be able to spot the profile of two
01:37faces with a white background.
01:43OK, take a look at both images.
01:47Can you tell if the circle on the right is larger than the circle on the left?
01:58Believe it or not, these two circles are actually the exact same size!
02:04This illusion is known as the Ebbinghaus illusion, and it was discovered by a German
02:08physiologist in the early 1900s.
02:12One of the possible explanations for why our brain glitches when looking at this image
02:16is due to the size of the external circles.
02:20Since the circles on the right are much bigger, they make the one from the right look smaller
02:25than the one on the left.
02:31Can you stare at this parrot's eye for 15 seconds?
02:35Just keep staring at it, and I'll tell you when you can close your eyes.
02:38You're about to witness a great example of an afterimage!
02:43Three, two, one, and close your eyes!
03:01Can you see a red parrot?
03:06Isn't it amazing that even though this parrot is black and white, you have the illusion
03:10of seeing the color red?
03:12Again, this is just your brain trying to guess the color of something!
03:20Behind all of these little black dots, there's an image.
03:24Are you part of the 1% of people that can see it?
03:34It's a minion!
03:35Congrats if you spotted that!
03:40Here's another one in this style.
03:42Can you see what's hidden here?
03:51It's a ninja turtle!
03:52Honestly, did you need to be a bit of a ninja to see that one?
03:59And what about this one?
04:08My my, it's Homer Simpson!
04:13So now there's something hidden behind black stripes.
04:16How's your x-ray vision working?
04:25You got it if you said it's one of the dragons from How to Train Your Dragon!
04:30That's cute!
04:35Can you tell which circle in this image is the darkest one?
04:42Uh oh, that was totally a trick question!
04:48All the circles are exactly the same color.
04:50This is a classic example of the saturation optical illusion.
04:54It shows how our brain perceives color in a very subjective way.
04:58The lighting and background of an object influence how we see it.
05:02So when the gray circle is put against a darker background, we tend to believe it's brighter
05:07than its true color, and vice versa.
05:14This illusion is called the impossible triangle.
05:17But wait, what makes it so impossible?
05:20You only have a few seconds to figure that out!
05:30The so-called Penrose Triangle is also known as the impossible triangle, because it could
05:35never exist in reality.
05:38This magical triangle defies the laws of Euclidean geometry.
05:42If you follow the ball sliding on the surface of the triangle from the top point, you'll
05:47notice something strange.
05:49It looks like the left side of the triangle is extending away from the viewer, while the
05:54right side is closer to you.
05:56The Penrose Triangle is the type of geometrical figure that can only exist as an optical illusion,
06:02because this is what it looks like if we dismember it.
06:06Not a triangle at all, huh?
06:12Take a look at this image.
06:14Which line do you think continues the black one?
06:17The red line or the blue line?
06:26As much as it looks like it's the blue line, it's actually the red line.
06:30This illusion was first talked about in the 1960s, and it's called the Poggendorf illusion.
06:36This is a classic example of how our brain perceives geometric shapes and depth.
06:42According to scientists, our brain tries to perceive two-dimensional pictures with three-dimensional
06:47properties.
06:48This is why it distorts the depth between lines in this image.
06:52Pretty intense, huh?
06:57Take a look at this staircase.
07:00Now let's flip the image upside down.
07:02It still looks like a staircase, but instead of going from right to left, it looks like
07:06it's going from left to right.
07:09Don't blink though.
07:10If you blink, the illusion will disappear, and you will be left with the original image.
07:21This illusion is known as Schroeder staircase, and it was invented by a German scientist,
07:26Heinrich Schroeder, back in 1858.
07:30It's really simple, but it talks about the same principle we saw in the previous illusion.
07:35If we dismember the staircase, you'll notice that the image is actually flat.
07:40What our brain perceives as a three-dimensional image is just a combination of shadow and
07:45light.
07:46This means that the 3D itself is already an optical illusion.
07:52This happens because our brain captures images and tries to fit them into what it already
07:57knows.
07:58It sees a shadow in a 2D image and it understands it as depth.
08:03Basically, it creates an unreal perspective of the object in front of our eyes.
08:08In this case, we call it a three-dimensional perspective.
08:15These circles seem to be moving pretty much everywhere they're told.
08:19Do you believe they are really moving, or could we say that they're stationary?
08:31I know it's hard to believe, but they're not moving an inch.
08:35This illusion has baffled the internet, but this is what's going on behind the scenes.
08:40There's a very, very thin inner and outer edge to these circles, and these edges are
08:46a different color than the bulk of the circle.
08:49To create the illusion, animators make these outer edges move.
08:53But since there's a variation in color, our brain interprets it as the entire circle moving.
08:59That's why even if we block the arrows, we still have the impression that the circles
09:03are moving.
09:08Take a look at this image.
09:10It looks like the square in the middle is breathing, right?
09:13Like it's growing in size and then shrinking.
09:16What if I told you that it's just rotating, but not changing in size?
09:27Here's what's happening.
09:28This illusion is called motion binding.
09:31It happens when our brain tries to predict the movement of one of the elements in the
09:35image.
09:36Crazy stuff!
09:41Let's try another one.
09:43Stare at the cross in the middle of this image for 10 seconds, starting now.
09:59Did all of the colors from the image fade away and all you could see was a white page?
10:04Bizarrely, our brain just erases all the nuanced colors and leaves you with a white screen.
10:13First up, we have what looks like a gray bar moving up and down on an orange background.
10:18But if you stare at this little black dot, you may see the gray bar turn into a different
10:23color.
10:24What color did you see?
10:32Did you say blue?
10:33Yep, that was it!
10:39There is a graphic city with a dot in the middle of it.
10:42Stare at this dot for around 10 seconds, starting now.
10:52Wow, what just happened?
11:00Even after the picture turns black and white, our brain is still able to perceive the original
11:05colors.
11:06This is another example of an afterimage.
11:10After we fed our brain with a fixed image of something, when we turn it black and white,
11:14our brain is still trying to guess the colors of it.
11:18That's it for today!
