Basically, it's not a "brain" effect, but an "eye" effect, because the melt of colors (which explain the effect) occurs directly on the retina, as soon as the definition of the picture is higher than the definition of the retina. (that's why the effect can disapear when we look closer) @staticwolf

They're such an amazing example of how our brain makes weird connections. Or is the fault in our eye. Just to show, the world is not always as we perceive it! WOW, I love these illusions.
