Today, I was making link corrections on some old gadget articles including Metal Pen which never runs out! While browsing at Grand Illusions website where this amazing pen is sold, I have noticed another scientifically explained wonder which I didn’t hear about before.
Well, when we ’see’ something, our view of the world has been processed by our brain. And our brain ‘knows’ that a face is convex, not concave, so that is the way we see it. When we move, the face does not move in the way that a convex face would move, so our brain comes up with a different explanation, and we see the face move, following us wherever we go! Not the following photo, you should watch the video below.
This illusion is called as Hollow-Face Illusion. After some further search, I have learned that only schizophrenic people are not fooled with this trick because their eyes don’t believe in what brain knows automatically about faces. If you check the video below you will see that we perceive as if the mask face is clearly following us. Cool, isn’t it?
I had written about Einstein’s Brain Journey on my other blog as well some day ago. I guess, his story after death is interesting enough as well.
