Wouldn't be so sure, It's obviously somthing to do (or palming itself off) with  RGB of which I have been trying to get my head around to it's full potential after years of messing with Photoshop...
A truely amazing trick on the eye.

I think you'll find it's just a focal spot, Tommy, to force the eye to remain focussed on a single point of the image -- try replacing the three dots with a single dot of any contrasting colour and I am reasonably certain the illusion will remain the same.

You never know...This just may be one of my missions for passing a few hours on this Sunday afternoon Phil.
I'll probably go to sleep tonight with this girls face haunting me (hopefully the colour version). Then again, would that be such a bad thing.  :)

You can make these illusions yourself quite easily.
Take any image you like, the larger the better and ones with large areas of similar colour work best.
Invert the colours.
Smack a small focus point, any colour you like, somewhere in the middle.
Job done.

The focus spot is just there to stop your eye flitting around as it would normally (to avoid the issue that creates the illusion).

If you want to get a good understanding of the current theory of how humans (and devices) perceive (measure) colour then I'd recommend: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Real-World-Color-Management-Industrial-Strength/dp/0321267222 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Real-World-Color-Management-Industrial-Strength/dp/0321267222)

If you need any help understanding RGB just PM or email me with your question(s) :)

For anyone who wants to see the pretty girl without going cross eyed:
(http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/imagehost/pics/f60e01db848be3ab67b57519c2adb4d8.jpg) (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/imagehost/#f60e01db848be3ab67b57519c2adb4d8.jpg)

Note how the RGB, primary colours of the additive colour model, dots more or less change to CMY, the secondary colours. The yellow is off because the blue dot wasn't truly blue, which adds weight to the argument that the colour of the focusing spot is not important.

Yes, but I should point out that knowing the trick doesn't stop me appreciating its execution. I think this is the best one I've seen too. In fact I don't remember seeing this technique applied to a normal image before, it's usually just flags or a monochrome Jesus :)

Did you make it yourself?

If she looks like that then I am going to get Mrs. RD a red dot.  ;). Might be a bit dodgy walking down Tooting High Street though. May get offered a few goats for her.  ;D

....which adds weight to the argument that the colour of the focusing spot is not important.

The colour of the focusing point is irrelevant, it's just there to keep you staring in one place. You can take the colour dots out and it would still work. It's a burn in effect of the different light intensities on your retina and when you refocus onto a plain surface the rods and cones in your retina recreate the light intensities into colour.

Wait until you see this one. If you concentrate, you can change the tube's direction!

I received this email a while ago and some of the comments on another thread reminded me of it!


Take a look at this paragraph. Can you read what it says? All the letters have been jumbled (mixed). Only the first and last letter of ecah word is in the right place:

I cnduo't bvleiee taht I culod aulaclty uesdtannrd waht I was rdnaieg. Unisg the icndeblire pweor of the hmuan mnid, aocdcrnig to rseecrah at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mttaer in waht oderr the lterets in a wrod are, the olny irpoamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rhgit pclae.
