This just goes to show how incredible vision is. The idea that you change how something is interpreted depending just on the orientation of said thing is crazy to me
Three or four of these had me rewinding and viewing from odd angles just to confirm they weren't manipulated to match the words. A delightful journey, this one.
For the flashed face distortion effect. I found that the longer you stare at the cross. The more distorted the faces become and it can sometimes give creepy vibes if stared long enough.
When I was a kid my mother showed me how staring at yourself in the mirror can start producing other faces in place of your own. I'd forgotten about this until now.
@@thereal4815 now that is an illusion. its either he doesn't care or doesn't exist! or maybe just maybe we are already in hell we just didn't realised! either way something is fvcked up.
the lilac chaser one was so vivid i genuinely thought you had edited it for demonstration, but then i rewound and realized it really is just an illusion.
Thank you so much The Paint Explainer, I feel sick and I have a headache after watching this video but it was one of the most interesting videos I've seen in a long time
I finally found a reliable way to alternate between the two rotation directions of the dancer in the Kinetic Depth Effect. Focus only on the trajectory of the foot she is standing on. Imagine her knee is swaying left and right. When the knee is about to reach it's left-most position, look at the image as a whole. You should see her rotating clockwise (from above). A less reliable method is closing your eyes and imagining the dancer spinning in either direction and opening your eyes when her legs overlap. This is obviously hard to do because your are blocking the only sensory input provided with this illusion by closing your eyes. You rely on your sense of time.
It's fascinating to go through optical illusions and see which ones work and which ones don't on yourself and other people. This video makes that a million times easier and more fun. Thanks man!
I'm immune to the kinetic depth perception illusion. I was unconfused as to which direction the girl was spinning. I couldn't even understand why it was an optical illusion. Most people who took dance lessons when they were young are probably permanently immune to this illusion.
5:10 This trick caused me way too much misery when I had to recreate Snake in programming class omfg. I can't believe it took me so long to realize you just have to move the last part first.
You missed ambiguous image illusion 😢 An ambiguous image illusion, also known as a reversible figure or multistable perception, is a type of optical illusion that exploits the visual system's ability to see two or more distinct image forms in a single picture. These illusions challenge our normal visual perception because they can provide multiple stable interpretations. Classic examples include the rabbit-duck illusion, Rubin's vase (which can be seen as either a vase or two faces), and the "My Wife and My Mother-in-Law" drawing, which can be perceived as either a young woman or an old woman
Some effects happen because we have two eyes. One eye is enough for somewhat 2D visual information, but you need two eyes to see two different angles that are combined to form one composite 3D image. So the expectation for the "Flashed Face Distortion Effect" would be that it has something to do with going "cross-eyed" or similar to a minor degree, or that's how I would explain it. The "Magic Eye" illusions are a great example of this type of stuff (and I can never get them to work because I process visual information extremely flat)
Its interesting how some of these have different effects on some people. knowing more about them, or other thimgs ,may have effects. ones that stood out for me was the 'Mach bands' I found the colors more different BEFORE they touched. however, im well aware and have experienced the effect in some eye tests. in the color constancy, the only color outside of red/black/white was the blue water (and the mountain's lower part also looked blue)
2:14 This is much more prominent if you're near sighted like myself. Just stand up, walk a few feet back, and flip your glasses on and off to watch the face change! Alternatively, if you have good enough peripheral vision, put a finger in front of your face to focus on it to get the same effect.
The EASIEST way to find the illusion with the Kinetic Depth effect is to use your arrow key to fast forward/rewind the video as the woman is spinning. At some point, due to all of the rapid chances of you forwarding and going back, you will see her start to spin in the opposite direction.
No clue if "Quick2Get" here on youtube is trying to copy your style, given the fact they are using the same thumbnail, formal and even channel description as you, or it's just a coincidence...I did check, your first available video was 3 months ago, while theirs is 2 months ago. Aside from that, great video!
Flashed face distortion effect mainly happens as the images on two eyes being different and while focusing on the cross , due the blind spot in eyes , our brain can't reform the images from two eyes and thus they look deformed. I don't remember where I read it but it was in a biology book when I studied in school.
It indeed surprises me if I hear that the two sides of the Ames Room had the same height (0:27). They haven't, they're just decorated to look like it from a particular angle of view.
flashed face distortion effect is actually the basis for the episode "real sleep" from the series local58, and if you follow the instructions on screen during that segment it will actually make people unrecognizable in your dreams for a bit.
I think the vertical-horizontal illusion happens between we instinctually assume the vertical line is overlapping the horizontal one instead of being ontop Making us believe the vertical one is the width of the horizontal one taller
Interestingly, on the Silencing effect, I can still see the balls changing color. It's certainly less noticeable, but they appear to be flashing back and forth a bit more quickly than they were when still. I love love _love_ the rotating snake illusion. It's used in a lot of celtic art, too.
Motion aftereffect can be observed in the real world when you ride a motorcycle for extended periods of time. When you get off, everything will feel like its warping past you for a few minutes.
Oh super weird, I was focused on just the short lines when you introduced the Zolner illustration and my brain didn’t actually fall for it as a result, but when it was made clear that it was referring to the longer lines it went back and it worked properly
When I was a kid growing up in Florida, I used to experience the after image one a lot upon stepping inside. I would be practically blinded because most of my vision would turn purple/blue.
This just goes to show how incredible vision is. The idea that you change how something is interpreted depending just on the orientation of said thing is crazy to me
Aughhh
I love optical illusions where you can voluntarily change what you see
To me it shows how poor humans are at seeing the world. And yet we think we are perfect recorders.

Many channels with this style and type of content may have arisen, but yours stays as the one with the highest quality
yeah, seems he found a gold mine.
True this is a new age of youtube
Thank you Paint Explainer for being a robot who draws and who explained all illusions to me in such a short timeframe!

Yes
My retinal cord and brain stem are mush.

Growing up during the haydays of UA-cam has trained me not to trust optical illusion videos, lest I fancy needing a new pair of pants from a screamer.
no fr i was anxious this whole video lol
3:57 you know what that looks like..
A hell naw bro called me dirtyminded
It looks like a T
Lol
Looks like someone's chopped off third finger, dont see anything wrong in it
My whole life is an illusion

You're talking about the green dot, huh? It is crazy how it can be so incredibly vivid lol
Thank you so much The Paint Explainer, I feel sick and I have a headache after watching this video but it was one of the most interesting videos I've seen in a long time
3:19, that example is bad, since if you look at it frame by frame, you can notice that the lines aren't even in the same spots. Still good video
Can we just appreciate how the Paint Explainer never fails to drop fire content
6:22 doesn't work for me the lines are the same color
Same.
Same...
Same here! They look the same to me.
SAME
Same
GET UP MOM THE PAINT EXPLAINER HAS DROPPED A NEW VIDEO🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
In just 8 minutes, my perception of reality was shattered. Mind-blown.

They add white to the ones on the top to make it seem like it is white, just with a shadow

The fact that some of these illusions don’t seem to work on me…
Bro me too

More practiced awareness, you should try looking into phosphenes 😂
You forgot two- Magic eye and moire

7:07 Rubin's vase is literally one of the video chapters.
Brilliant. The first one (Motion After-effect) is a truly fascinating illusion. Well done, Team.
thanks for finally providing only illusions that actually work, you're the first person that only shows working illusions.
Im so grateful this new channel exists
Amazing. Really enjoyed this
0:41 its because our ancestors feared the things we cant see (sorry for bad english, i cant explain like how i wanted)
5:44 Because it's afterimage + phi phenomenom.

in the color constancy, the only color outside of red/black/white was the blue water (and the mountain's lower part also looked blue)
6:37 did anyone else see it spin?
Me
Request: Could you explain how different paints are created? Also: This was amazing! TY!
6:22 I do not see it
Bro keep making videos please dont stop any time soon i want to learn
1:05 This reminds me of a time the ground was absolutely covered in ants, but I could only see them by looking directly at the ants.
2:14 This is much more prominent if you're near sighted like myself. Just stand up, walk a few feet back, and flip your glasses on and off to watch the face change!
Alternatively, if you have good enough peripheral vision, put a finger in front of your face to focus on it to get the same effect.
instructions unclear, I am now an illusion
ok
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
WHAT
Instructions unclear my eyes are only seeing black and white
4:15 Its like I can see the outline of the non-existante bright triangle before it was shown, that's insane!
A video about optical illusions soon after a video about different kinds of torture.
I see what you're doing. You ain't slick. lmao
That's actually slick.

broo it qas for a split second and oh god it scared me it was almost likie analog horror stuff jeez
I saw amogus only
Love to have them summed up, good times ❤
None of these illusions work on me because I've learned not to fall for them

I just realised i have anger issues
Fr
4:26 it’s also because of blank space (or white space, cant remember.), where the eye “automatically” gives it a shape.

They look similar until they touch
