DON'T FORGET TO BLINK!!!


Instructions:
1. Stare at the red dot on the girls nose for 30 seconds.
2. Turn your eyes to a plain surface (your ceiling or blank wall). white ceiling is best!!!!!!!
3. Blink repeatedly and quickly.

It worked for me without blinking. Is my brain broken?

It's the superiority of our minds - wants to discard a false image. :D

I don't know this for a fact, but since the dots are RGB our brain must be translating it like the camera.

It seems to me there is a bit of color I see in the image. So the image is not monotone. The image also appears to be somewhat blue-ish so there must be variations of color in it. These colors are affecting the rods (or is it cones) in our retina -- and exhausting them slightly so they are reduced in the ability to translate light from that color.

Then, when we look at a white background, the weakened "colors" are less present. Since the colors in the image were reversed (to form the negative image) we see the color of the original subject.

I didn't expect it. . . and was pleased to see it.
