Optical Illusions - How To Trick Your Eyes πŸ‘€

in life β€’Β  7 years agoΒ  (edited)

My series "How To Trick Your Mind" should show you some interesting ways how to easily trick your mind in order to live a happier life.Β 



"How To Trick Your Eyes" was inspired by some researches that I did earlier. My "how to trick" series are always tested and proven by myself. Many people ask me - do this really works? Have you ever made any experiences? Yeah I did. All my advices, quotes and tips are always tested by myself. I would never share anything with my community that I havent tried before. Anyway, I dont want to talk a lot about how to trick your mind because todayΒ΄s post is all about the eyes.Β 


To be honest with you, these following examples have nothing to do with real illusions for the eye. They are produced inside our brain but the eye helps bringing the information to the head. I was always interested in those kind of experiments and this is a great way to share it with you guys and getting to know your opinion and results!


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1. Confusing Β CirclesΒ 

h

What do you think? There are actually 4 still standing circles with no extra features!


2. Is this image moving?

NO, itΒ΄s not! These leaves are not moving at all, itΒ΄s just an illusion of our brain!


3. Black & White ?

This picture will turn into itΒ΄s real colors after the negative view when you take a look at this picture for a few minutes. But being real with you, this picture is actually black & white


4. Spiraling out of control

ArenΒ΄t these spirals looking like theyΒ΄re moving?


5. Changing colors ?

These dots are pink right? Please take a look inside the circle and answer this question again :)


6. Hermann Grid

Let me know in the comments below what you have seen ...


7. Blivet

I believe this picture went pretty viral so I do not need to explain it one more time.Β 


8. Black on WhiteΒ 

Take a look at this image for at least 30 seconds and write in the comments what youΒ΄ve seen


9. Up and Down

What do you see in the gif above? Are these pillars moving to the left or right? TheyΒ΄re actually just moving upside downΒ 


10. Coffee Beans Illusion

Now I want to test if your brain is able to recognize the face inside the coffee beans. ( just a quick tip - Β search from the bottom)


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I am so fascinated about how it is possible that our mind gets tricked even if we realize what is going on in these pictures. What is your favorite illusion?Β 

β€œAll problems are illusions of the mind.”
― Eckhart Tolle


I am watching the big fight McGregor vs Mayweather right now. I am following their journey for many months now and I still can not believe that itΒ΄s going down tonight! Have you pursued the press conferences ? Are you interested in fighting? What do you think - Who is going to win?


Thank you for readingΒ 

Stay focusedΒ 

Love, SoldierΒ

haha glad you liked it

The black and white is so confusing.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

thought the same

Yes; think it needs some explanation

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

It's black and white to me, until it changes color and tells you to look at the black dot.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

All u have to do is focus hard

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

This is one of the best mind tricks game i have ever had..... thank you @soldier you made my day... gotta share this post with my friends...

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Thank you! Appreciate it

changing colors is my favorite.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I havent seen the green dot until I looked in the middle of the picture...

damn, i seems drunk lol

You played with my mind i feel helpless! @soldier

great mind games and tricks @soldier, these games really help to sharpen the mind, thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing it.

I am not able to see anything in number 8 but number 9 I can see it go up and down.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Number 10 took me a while. Logically, the size of the head and the size of the beans are too different for my brain to comprehend.

Amazing tricks @soldier, i really like moving color, and Spiraling out of control
tricks awesome.

changing colors is awesome

Wow, it's an amazing research done by you @soldier when we roll our eyes over the second image it looks like it's moving but when we look at one leaf without rolling our eyes then we see that no it's not moving.

Good job, Thanks for sharing.

My eyes get hypnotized when I check out your profile picture!!!

Amazing illusions! Thanks for sharing.

amazing illusions. with the black and white, if you focus on the dot, it changes its color in a few moment. but if you focus on anything in the photo it's back and white. and yeah, there appears to be a face of a man in the bottom left corner in the coffee beans.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Ya I have experienced many times if we see the confusing image we assume that it is moving but actually it is illusion of our brain. Thanx for the information

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I think I have seen all of these illusions before years ago. I remember in college one semester, in psychology we looked at illusions throughout the whole class and thought of why. You could train your brain to not even see them; like the one with the blank circle moving, isn't green.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I really get confused by looking at these images :o

@soldier Optical illusions occur because our brain is trying to interpret what we see and make sense of the world around us. Optical illusions simply trick our brains into seeing things which may or may not be real.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Way too spacing all those optical illusions lol. It's a funny thing how the mind gets fooled.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Nice post. I am lost in all the illusions. Someone wake me up.

WOW THANK YOU INFORMATION IN LIFE

This is going to make me slim. so much strain.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

My eyes have started to freak out. I give up. ;/

Wow the "static-moving" ones (2 and 4) are incredible!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

TKO for 50-0

Good post/ trippy collection, allways find intresting stuff. what did you see in the hermann grid?

I love doing these they are so wild how your mind and eyes pick up some information. Leads one to wonder what you see shouldn't always be what you believe

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I could not recognize the 8th one ,all the others I decoded.

Am not really funned of mayweather but he will win because he is smart.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Greaat job @soldier i lik it. Bravoo

Black & White Optical Illusions amazing

I love optical illusions and you have gathered some of the best. I sometimes try to recreate some in my collage artworks because the medium gives you the ability to play a little bit with the connection of the eye and mind in seeing

This is the poster of my last exhibition
13010040_1182667358410771_606336719_o.jpg.

Yes, illusions are interesting. I've never seen the 3rd and the 9th.

Great works, I wish you success

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Am definitely resteem this

Dudeeee this was awesomeeeee @solider .. I just spent 3 minutes trying to figure out if number 2 was moving or not lmao πŸ˜‚.. I'm sitting here turning my phone to different angles like a maniac haha

Spiraling out of control is the weirdest one.

I really like your work, thanks for sharing

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Number 3 was nice xD
The others I already knew :p

I'm not sure if you actually wondered why I had not commented , but I gave Birthday two days ago, just recovering from a C-section still. God blessed me with a beautiful child .

Also , these are so mind fuc*ing , I used to be really into illusions and different dimensions and what not , I still am . I used to meditate a lot to unlock my chakras, so much more hehe. Hope you're well @soldier

I love your mind game posts! I hope to see you soon!

Yesterday I posted a choreography that I filmed recently. I was wondering what you think about the dance - as you're also a fellow dancer.

Let me know!

xx

I have always loved optical illusions like this. I loved the first one with the concentric circles - very freaky!!
