  • What we 'see' is purely a result of our brains interpreting the information being received, and often isn't a true reflection of reality. We simply can't process all incoming data in real-time, so our minds take shortcuts and fill in the blanks… which, in certain situations, can result in us seeing things that simply aren't there. Get ready to enter a world where you'll start questioning your own reality, as we take a look at 15 optical illusions you have to try!

    In the "Which way is it spinning" illusion, it's even more complex than explained by the narrator. While seeing it turn horizontally, one might see it spinning to the right or left--or swap between both, if you're capable. And when seeing it as vertical, it's possible to see it turn towards you or away from you. What a marvelously constructed illusion!

    Exactly the same thing happens with our hearing as well. In music, if you just hear a C major chord, you assume it’s a piece in C Major. but depending on the context of the music following it, the piece might actually be in G Major, or F major. This is common knowledge, among musicians and composers. It has been used for hundreds of years to fool the listener, which makes the music more interesting! You could do a whole program on how our ears fool us as well.

    I love the way our brain constantly edits the world before presenting our consciousness with a picture of what we see. I saw a cool effect watching a guy slowly dribble a basketball while walking away. The ball hit the pavement at the same time as I heard the sound but only up until a certain distance when suddenly the 2 events were separate, sound and visual event. It wasn't gradual, it was sudden. Like my brain said "Yep, I can't match these two things up anymore to what you expect to experience". It's weird that it's sudden and not gradual. How much other stuff is my brain editing?

      I dunno if it happens to all people but if I play a first person shooter game with a 3d world and I close one eye, the image becomes 3d, it's like having 3d glasses because the brain reconstructs the missing information from the second eye by being tricked by the graphics. It's awesome.

    Another very strange optical illusion: You are riding in the "bed" of a pickup truck. You are facing backwards so the passing scenery is receeding quickly away from you. You arrive at your destination and the truck stops. Now for several minutes everything in your field of vision looks as if it is rushing toward you. This is truly bizarre, and I have experienced it!

    Once in 1967 from the shoreline bluffs north of Duluth overlooking Lake Superior, the sky overcast and gray matching the color of the lake, I observed an ocean going freighter halfway in the sky. The atmosphere was moisture saturated, this moment being just a brief interlude during days of constant rain
    I thought at the time the illusion was because there was no delineation of horizon between the color of the sky and color of the lake water. the lake water at that moment being of the same texture as that of the sky.
    Perhaps a Fata Morgana?

    N° 15 is amazing.
    N° 14. I see black and blue lines but no circle.
    N° 13. I can see the perspective trickery.
    N° 12 "dulaxis". I don't see any difference in the spinning because there is no spinning.
    N° 11. I don't see the circles changing colours. they are all "egg" coloured.
    N° 10. The vapour has no colour.
    N° 9. The illusion is amazing.
    N° 8. I immediately noticed the texture difference between the background and the popcorn bag.
    N° 7. Indeed, the illusion is there.
    N° 6. You could think it's a rabbit. But it's a raven.
    N° 5. I use this technic in wood working.
    N° 4. The orange discs are the same.
    N° 3. I don't use computers for that. It's too easy.
    N° 2. I don't see any colour change.
    N° 1. After concentrating in the middle circle, I don't see colours. And after that I don't see anything moving. I don't smoke any weed.

    We receive all kinds of information from the outside world, and the brain processes the information received, driving the neural impulses that internalize our own cognition. On the other hand, we have built a more powerful processing system internally, which can also generate some impulses spontaneously. Dreaming, for example, is an interpretation of internal information.

    The checker board squares within squares create diagonals in a chevron pattern, and the chevrons are all pointing toward the center. This gives the illusion of a central summit. At 18:30 the same effect you see when staring at a floater for some time when fishing. The small waves have continuous motion. Then when you look at the grass in front of your feet it will seem like the ground has become a swirly mass.

    The "dual axis" was strange enough when I could see it turning horizontally changing directions sort of randomly. Later when it was revealed that it can appear to spin vertically also...things got doubly strange. I believe the brain functions of higher life-forms will never be duplicated by microchips. The complexity of the biological brain still far exceeds even the most powerful supercomputers. Computers will always be much faster at their tasks, though.

  • @topherthe11th23

    16:38 - It should be possible to build the "impossible waterfall" so that in a real life viewing (but only to a viewer who is looking through a specially-positioned ring) the water flows exactly as shown in the fa'ked video UP TO the point at which it reaches the "top". At that point the water would have to go into some secret place. But you could build this thing (and I'm sure someone has) so that the "top" is lower down than the "bottom" but you don't see it that way because the top is much further away, but built in a distorted way so that while being a larger gauge of trough seen at a greater distance it actually looks like the same size trough but nearer.
