Grey Dots
An optical illusion is a visually perceived image that is deceptive or misleading.
Small grey dots should appear at the intersections of the squares, but if you look directly at the intersection, the grey dots will disappear.

|
Posted by Methlos on Mar 12, 2006 they got this 1 all over the walls at my school it's scary |
|
Posted by charles445 on Mar 12, 2006 This is a fun one Even through it's popularity it still is baffling Try telling your little brother/sister to touch the dots with their fingers! They'll keep looking at their fingers! |
|
Posted by charles445 on Mar 12, 2006 Also because they look at their fingers the dots dissapear. Sorry if the previous was unclear  |

Posted by akl21 on Jun 27, 2006 I wonder if it's because your eyes mix the black and white together to get gray. Hmmm.... Good one, though!! |

Posted by NiseyD on Jun 16, 2007 I think that you should hide your answers so they can work it out themselves! like in the logic grids n mysters! |
|
Posted by FutureMD on Jun 18, 2007 Yes, it's a very interesting illustion, but I feel that the Scintillating Grid Illusion is a more effective version of this one. |
|
Posted by princess2007 on Jun 21, 2007 i pretty much say the same thing as 'mr.tickles'. Anyone know how this works? i myself liked the idea of the eye mixing black and white. |
|
Posted by saltydavid on Jun 28, 2007 I'm no opthamologist so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's similar to the US Flag illusion. If you stare at a color for too long, the cones in your retina or the nerves from them get 'tired' of sending that color; they run out of chemicals or neurotransmitters or whatever. When you then look at white, the complementary colors wake up rested and refreshed and transmit their part of the white light (which contains the entire visible spectrum). So, your brain sees the blue part of the white light but those poor orange (red and green?) cones are still too tired to transmit. So your brain only senses the blue behind the stars. In this illusion, the white fatigues all of your cones so the complement is black. This illusion is designed so that as you move one intersection left, for instance, the intersection you left mostly fills in where the one on the right used to be, increasing its saturation time. It seems, too, that the fact that you have many fewer cones outside your focal point makes it easier to fatigue the ones farther from where you're looking; maybe there's some load sharing among the cones in the focal point to keep the problem to a minimum where you're looking. You will notice, if you can keep your gaze perfectly still on one intersection, nothing moves. But when you finally do move, the effect is stronger. |
