Science: That Optical Illusion is one of the most incredible ones that i have ever seen in my life. The Two squares have the same colour. Are not one white and the other black. If you dont believe in me you can just put your finger in the line that divide the two squares and you will prove for yourself that what i say is true.

That illusion ( if i am not wrong is something about the contrast and the shadows) make your brain do you see what doesnt exist. Make you see a thing different of what really are there.

Is almost like see to a green square but your brain make you see it red. Is almost a thing of virtual reality

Color-Challenging So… I’m playing Minecraft right now, and this is the white terracotta block. But to me it looks pink, and my mom says it looks brown… What color do you see?

“What’s weird is looking at it in real life, I 100% see pink, but looking at the image, I see tan. So that’s four different color options now.

Color-Challenging Your Brain Invents Color You Don’t See

Would you be surprised to learn the strawberries in this picture aren’t actually red? 🍓

A pixel-by-pixel color analysis reveals no red at all, yet your brain still sees it. Alex Dainis tells us how this is called the memory color effect. The brain uses past experiences to influence what you perceive. Objects like strawberries are color diagnostic, meaning we’ve seen them so often in one color that our brain pre-fills it, even when it’s missing.

The most astonishing optical illusion in history. These blocks are the exact same color. Don't believe me... put your finger in your nose and blink twice. You're welcome.

I fixed it for you. Now the blocks are actually the same... not really impressive right?
