Ive been looking at a few optical illusions on the net and here are some of the better ones...... Motion Binding Benham's Top This one I had to print out and cut the squares out to believe it! http://langabi.name/blog/wp-content/images/blog/optical illusion.jpg Not very optical but Say the following number aloud! Do it fast! 3 33 333 3333 33333 333333 3333333 Fast! Choose a color and a tool! Thought of one of each? Don't change the original! You answered: Red and Hammer Didn't you ?! I thought of green carrot but..... Also.... How much is: 1 + 5 ? 3 + 3 ? 4 + 2 ? 5 + 1 ? Repeat the number 6 in your head as fast as possible for 15 seconds. FAST !!! THINK OF A VEGETABLE ! Think, think ... You were thinking about a CARROT, weren't you!?! Really weird, right !?!?! This is defiantly the best though.... http://www.dimaggio.org/images/Favourite Images/Optical Illusions/Boat Illusion.jpg
The one with the a and b square, how can they be the same colour, its obvious there deffenitly 2 different colours.
No they are the same colours - it's an optical illusion - your brain thinks they're 2 different colours because of the way they're positioned in regards to the shadow. Open the image in some sort of picture-editing software and cut out one square and move it next to the other one - you'll see that they are the same colour. That 'think of a colour and a tool' didn't work for me, I thought of blue and a drill. Same with the vegetable one.
