What we 'see' is purely a result of our brains interpreting the information being received, and often isn't a true reflection of reality. We simply can't process all incoming data in real-time, so our minds take shortcuts and fill in the blanks… which, in certain situations, can result in us seeing things that simply aren't there. Get ready to enter a world where you'll start questioning your own reality, as we take a look at 15 optical illusions you have to try!

    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.
  • I was able to see "most"of these illusions despite I only see out of one eye! Amazing 😍🤩
  • That last one gave me flashbacks to the 90's. Good times. :)

    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?
  • That last one is WILD! Try looking at the pattern then look into your room, everything moves in waves, so freaky!!!
  • 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
  • @macforme
    Who do I complain to that my eyes are now crossed after this video???!!!
  • 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.
  • You've blown my mind. I never saw the popcorn bag until you told me. Yikes!

    Even more interesting too me as I have only one eye and I’m colourblind.

    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?
  • Dog's can see fast moving objects with a much faster response time because their brain's "communication delay" is much shorter than ours.
  • Every time I saw this video I decided to scroll and it’s changing color from black to white this video is cool
