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.
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!
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?
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!
Trippy, I doubt I'd have seen it without help, though in fairness, this is a pretty small screen, Idk if I would have seen it if it was bigger or not, I'll never know now, that bell is rung lol.
on the last test 18:33, if you pause the video you'll see completely irrelevant text in bright white background "balance, trust adversity, friends, next play" and so on scrolling in the back ground. No obvious connection to that visual test. i figure a tiny bit of visual deceit here just to help get the authors point across here.
I have to say that this is a great way to get sleepy within minutes... Wasn´t trying to get sleepy but I was so concentrated on the images that I got suddenly tired LOL. Rather interesting video though. Gonna come here from time to time I guess...
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.
This last illusion is well-known by people travelling by train. If you are looking continuously outside (what I often do), when the train stops, you get the impression that it is going backwards.
14:40 When comparing two objects or items the correct words are bigger and smaller. Biggest and smallest are only used when there are three or more objects or items.
That was bloody well brilliant!!! Lol, on the last one when you were talking about vision returning to normal quickly and the view was a featured video, the entire picture was moving for me. Gotta love it.
Hello ! 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. Phil. Peace.
Awesome vid. Who needs psychedelics?! with the which way is it spinning the trick to seeing it both ways is to fix on a "join" and follow it, imagining it going infront then behind.
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?
If you do the last one with one eye closed, when you then close the open eye and open the closed eye, i..e. switch them over, the wavy vision is only in the eye that was looking at the patterns, the other eye is rock solid.
@@AbigailBergCOMPASSCLASSROOM I mean yeah it is true that you don't need to notice the message to enjoy the visual hack. However (in my opinion at least) you would appreciate it that much more if you did.
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.
That second checkerboard really does have curved lines, as checked with a straight-edge, while the lines on the first-shown checkerboard did test straight.
I've looked at the whole video and all of them was doing exactly as you said Except for the last one THE EYE BENDER I've watched it now 4 time's and I can still not get it to work The lines of words is still not moving Why isn't it moving 😫😩 Is there something wrong with my eyes or is there anything else going on Just wondering 😔🤔 Just saying 🇧🇻
I STILL don't see why the yellow car image is different in the mirror!🤔 The car doesn't change but the canopy does!!🤤 This video proves you can't trust ANYTHING you see!🤓
2:15 - what are you talking about? That's not what happens at all. If you stare at the center, the edge of the circle becomes indistinct, but I don't see anything but white behind the lines.
Most of these works when I was tired and fell asleep. Bt after watching it again. Right as I woke up. Most of them didn't work. I eyes and mind didn't mix or confused colors. This didn't move like they had when I was tired. Maybe because my brain has not fully awaken???
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.
Watching this caused my blood pressure to go to 178 over 93 and caused chest pain. It took over 5 minutes to go down to 140 over 77. Be very careful watching this. It is VERY dangerous.
What's the difference between a Schroder Staircase and Penrose Steps? Is it just multiple Schroder Staircases are combined to make a loop to create Penrose Steps?
In the final illusion, why do you have faint white text moving across the image of black text from right to left? I checked and it is there whether you look at the illusion or not. In fact you can pause the image and see the white text.

I would love to watch/hear a video on audio illusions!
That's precisely like when Beethoven started his C-major Symphony #1 with an F-7 chord. Interesting observation here.

I can only see it vertical when they block off part of it. I guess my mind doesn’t want to accept that possibility.
Excellent video with superb narration!
Even more interesting too me as I have only one eye and I’m colourblind.

@@B30pt87 Well yeah, considering we're just brains in a pitch black container making our best guesses about our environment
Veritasium video about how sound on video or actual events has a limited time difference to appear synchronised.

That last one is WILD! Try looking at the pattern then look into your room, everything moves in waves, so freaky!!!
did exactly that and instantly decided to not trust my brain anymore
It is honestly like tripping on shrooms. That last one😮
You've blown my mind. I never saw the popcorn bag until you told me. Yikes!
Your mind didn't LET you see it until you changed the program!🤓
I was especially entertained by that one!!!
Staring at the center letters from @18:45 to the ending scene of the video is even more impressive. 😵🥴
🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 68 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 ❤️ 🎀 ❤️ 🎀 ❤️
5:20 i am able to focus enough to see it both ways. But at first i saw it going horizontally. But it takes alot of focus to flip it lol😂
hehehe The Girl in the Field got me....I don't think I ever would have seen that.
yep
that one *was* pretty cool
Same. However even with the focus off of the popcorn I was able to switch between the two. Weird.🤪
Trippy, I doubt I'd have seen it without help, though in fairness, this is a pretty small screen, Idk if I would have seen it if it was bigger or not, I'll never know now, that bell is rung lol.

5:32 It is really cool they way it spontaneously changes rotation from horizontal to vertical and back again. It's almost magical.
I did that last one and it turns green then I looked away at the wall and the wall was waving and moving that’s insane
That last one gave me flashbacks to the 90's. Good times. :)
Start decorating my walls now...
Had to paint them anyway 🤷♂.
Nice vid !

5:20 for me it’s just going left then right then left then right
I love the blue @2:44.
I liked that peanut brittle staff illusion.
6:47 That's the first time I've ever heard of a mirage referred to by that name.
Very cool!
Definitely one of your best videos.
Now I'm blind. Thanks, pal.

Dog's can see fast moving objects with a much faster response time because their brain's "communication delay" is much shorter than ours.
loved it!
Every time I saw this video I decided to scroll and it’s changing color from black to white this video is cool
I refuse to believe there are rabbits with sharp-ass Vulcan ears!
The eye bender worked on my flowers in my yard. 😄
Magicians use these tricks and call it magic!
That's amazing.

I wonder if railroad locomotive enginees and brakemen would see these differently, after years on the train
Who do I complain to that my eyes are now crossed after this video???!!!
Complaints are universally ignored! 😋
@@ludicrous7044 I think they might even count that as a win. 😂
That happens because of the 147 porn videos you watched before this one.

the letters in the trippy illusion at the end spell out the statement "we don't live in a world of reality, but in a world of perception".
Yes! Glad someone pointed it out since the narrator behaved as if the letters were irrelevant.

Crow. Bet on that raven, penguin, or rabbit part. I call raven a crow, but Crows are so cute. Lmao, I love them so much.
Right, I've seen this in other videos and they actually play the whole clip and show it's a rabbit
a--Medeterranean seat, but b -looks like Caribbean sea with Florida, Cuba, Yucatan peninsula --17:32- am I missing the illusion?

10:11 I can’t unsee it now
Monker Circle. honestly I just saw it rotating clockwise then anti clockwise
If you put a tissue here, you will see arrows pointing ar the center 13:51
4:59 dual axis
On the eye bender, you didnt mention the white text behind can you read this 18:31
2:09 I swear there was a blue mist, until you zoom in, bad brain.
The eye bender is crazy, just look at something interesting after it, and you get a good few seconds of it bending all over the place.
I've looked at the whole video and all of them was doing exactly as you said
Except for the last one
THE EYE BENDER I've watched it now 4 time's and I can still not get it to work
The lines of words is still not moving
Why isn't it moving 😫😩
Is there something wrong with my eyes or is there anything else going on
Just wondering 😔🤔
Just saying 🇧🇻
17:25 that is North America not The Mediterranean lol
nah its the med, you can see italy, greece, turkey, the black sea, and northern africa
I see both without the color i see it spinning both ways
my brain be like: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH CONFUSING, IMPOSSIBLE, CRAZY, OVERLOAD!!!!
all but the water fall is not editing, i checked
I STILL don't see why the yellow car image is different in the mirror!🤔 The car doesn't change but the canopy does!!🤤 This video proves you can't trust ANYTHING you see!🤓

its super illussionally
A Fata Morgana is a real physical phenomenon, not an illusion.
Yes, but the illusion is that what you see is NOT there where you see it.
Yes it is clearly it’s a raven I can see the beak like hard material even the eye

0:45 This is one of the examples of one situation when people stuck their noses in a smartphone, and that's why electric poles collide with them
Amazing thing is, even after we KNOW what the illusion or trick IS, we still can't seem to block that out!
The ebbinghaus illusion is two different size orange dots, and yes I did just measure them each. So it’s actually no illusion at all
*I know have X-RAY VISION!*
THANKS!
Fun! But narrator needs to clear his throat lol!
The girl in the field is standing in her own shadow, that’s what I want explained. He shadow isn’t starting at her own feet as it should

there is something wrong with me?
