This very curious phenomenon about the workings of our eyes and our mind is being shared with us by U.S.-based Forum member Angel Casillan.
This, the article sent by Angel says, is why witnesses are sometimes only 50% accurate in their testimony. When hailed by traffic police for beating the red light, for instance, many drivers are wont to defend themselves by saying, “Officer the traffic light was GREEN, not PINK!"
This amazing illusion actually takes place even if you happen to have a normal brain.
Take a close look at the rotating pink dot in the picture below:
If you let your eyes passively follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, the dots will remain in only one color, pink.
However, if you stare at the black “+” in the center, the moving dot will soon turn green. Now, concentrate even more intently on the black “+” in the center of the picture. After a little while, you will see all of the pink dots slowly disappear until there’s only a single green dot rotating.
As we know, there’s really no green dot, and the pink ones don’t really disappear. Our mind simply made us think so—enough proof that we don’t always see what we think we see.
