Eyes beware: 15 crazy optical illusions (15 photos + 4 videos)

Looking at these intricate images, you won't even notice how your eyes are deceiving you. An optical illusion is an error of visual perception or a deception of the eye. The role here is played by colors, shadows, and the location of objects. As a result, we see something completely different from what actually exists. Get ready: Introducing 15 Timeless Brain Explosions!

15. It's moving! In fact, these are autumn leaves drawn in a special order.

14. See the gray dots? There is none of them! Look at one for a few seconds - it will completely disappear. The effect is achieved through contrasts.

13. Where did everything go? Here you need to look at the center of the picture for about 30 seconds. The play of colors does its job.

12. Who did you see? The oldest but coolest illusion. You need to look at the dots in the center of the picture for 30 seconds, and then look at the wall. Contrasts, that's all they are.

11. Circles are spinning! While looking at the black dot, move closer and further away from the screen. Nothing supernatural, just an optical illusion.

10. Which of the orange circles is larger? They are identical. The illusion belongs to the author - Ebbinghaus-Titchener. It's all about the contrast in the sizes of the circles.

8. Video illusion. The white dots in the circle do not just rotate, but move in straight lines.

7. Follow the light. Here you need to move closer and further away from the screen: the picture will change brightness.

6. Spiral? Circles! This illusion is known as the "false spiral." Move your cursor over one of the curls - and you will realize that in fact you are looking at circles.

5. Interesting animated optical illusion (video)

The point is that the images on paper are not simple, but drawn specifically for the trick. If you pass the film with slits over the design, it will begin to move.

4. Dancing letters.

Naturally, they don't actually dance, they just change color.

3. Attention! This video may cause temporary hallucinogenic effects. Don't be afraid, this will pass.

You need to look at the letters without looking away. At the end, look around.

2. Find a face! Experts explain: if you find a face within three seconds, your right (creative) hemisphere of the brain is developed.

Another trick: if you have already found a face, and look at the picture again, now your gaze is directed to that very face. Mystic.

1. People and animals. An illusion with history.

Silhouettes of happy families in the photo are formed by silhouettes of animals. Photographer Amol Jadhav and an art director from Mumbai took these images for a campaign to spread the message that anyone can save a stray animal. The campaign was surprisingly effective. The number of animals that found homes increased by 1.5 times.
