your eyes help you see the world but you can't see this. No seriously if you close your left eye stare at this Crossing are with your right eye and slowly move your head words or away from the screen the. Will disappear revealing the exact location of your blind spot the cells at the back of your eye transform light into signals that are sent you're praying but they are missing right here because this is where nerves and blood vessels connect to the eye so anything at that point in your vision at you can't see your blind spot if we add a line through the image and you try again you'll notice that your brain it fills in information and makes you think the line is continuous instead of there being a hole in your vision can't see all twelve of these black dots at once for a similar reason go ahead and try chances are you'll only see a fraction of them at once the exact point your eye looks at is focused put your peripheral vision isn't great and so your brain off and makes assumptions for what's there because of the consistent grayline pattern your brain assumes the rest of the image is just like that misses the black thoughts until you look directly at them these two rectangles are flashing out of phase with each other right now for most of the rectangles will now seem to be sing at the same time in Phase but they aren't at all and yet if we move the shapes beside them just a few pixels you'll begin to see them out of face again this sing area has a direct impact on how you see and perceive things even if the result is incorrect not convinced look at these flashing squares accept what you might not seen is that the middle Square isn't flashing at all if we remove the outer Square we see it for what it is a solid color now try reading the sentence inside it did you catch the extra work doesn't always notice mistakes like these because it doesn't affect your comprehension of the sentence and your brain would prefer to act quickly rather than to be accurate  try staring at the middle. In this illusion when the picture isn't moving the colors are clearly changing play yet when the image starts rotating the color change either scenes non-existent or much slower eyes and brain have evolved to see but our vision makes assumptions based on turning memory and expectation and all of these Illusions take advantage of this adaptation it's an advantage to have rapid information processing so instead of taking every bit detailed to be one hundred percent accurate which would cause a brain overload your brain makes assumptions this faster perception allows for faster reflexes and faster conscious unconscious decisions an integral aspect of human nature much like this Halo if you stare at the center. For long enough to Simply make it disappear it makes a assumption that the information is unchanging or an important and as a result you can't see it love tricking your brain with Illusions we put together a playlist of our favorite ones that you can watch bike turn the screen don't forget to subscribe for more weekly fun science videos
