Baby Illusion

33 comments

This one is neat, just try fitting both pictures in one screen. First look at the second picture. You can notice some difference in both sides of the baby image - right side of it looks somehow yellowish, right?. Ok, now stare at the little plus sign in the first picture for a 30 seconds and then quickly look at baby's nose; see what I mean? This illusions was originally created by Stefan Van den Bergh.

    Thought I'd throw my 2 cents of biological color theory in on this effect. This would also pertain to other color illusions.
    There is a chemical in your eye that offsets colors you look at. By 'offset' I mean desaturate.
    In the illusion above, the right side is yellow, so your eye adjusts with a blu-ish chemical to desaturate the yellow. Your eye does the same with the blue on the left by adjusting with a yellow-ish effect to desaturate the blue.
    When you shift to the baby's image you have left over blue on the right and left over yellow on the left. These balance the shading of the baby picture and thus you see a uniform image.

    you'll notice after a short while you begin to see the non-uniform baby again as the chemicals begin to settle down.
    Hope this is educational and helpful.
    :)

    More to do with adaptation of neurons in the cortex than photopigment saturation in the retinal cones, but yeah. You can see this because - i imagine - the trick would work with Red-Green as well as Blue-Yellow opponency, but not combinations thereof (i.e. Red-Yellow) - suggesting independent channels rather than the broad overlapping trichromacy found in retinal cones.
    Interesting stuff, though the trick itself is just a generic form of colour after-effect.

    Omigosh. I can't beleive that.......YOU ACCUALY BELEIVE IT IS AN ILLUSION! Obviously they took a picture of a baby, then on a special computer, they made one side blue-shaded, the opther side yellow shaded, and then put the two colors above it!!!!!!!

    Nice illusion, but the baby picture is naturally blue and yellow, I looked at it on it's own! Good idea though!

    yeah, I found I had no need to even have the coloured rectangles on the screen to see this one. Just relax your eyes.
