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.

thats bad ass
If you just look at the baby’s nose for a bit you can notice it too
WOW SOOOOOOOOOO COOL
Nice.
I cant see anything
AWESOME!!!! the picture of the baby was supposed to look normaal right? with no color differences? that was kool!!
i dont get it either
I fixed the baby!!!
That’s hilarious!
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.
:)
the pic turns normal, cool, ;P
i hurt my eyes
it worked for me
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.
what!!
the picture is painted digitally or somein ITS NOT A BLUE/YELLOW BABY!!! lol
its not a blue/yellow baby? well i didnt know that!!!
coughcoughcosarcasamughcoughcough
Thats the coolest freakin illusion ive seen
i just see a blue stripe at the left side of the babys nose, but it’s supposed to be a whole blue half, isn’t it?
I love how our brains and eyes can play tricks on ourselves lol This illusion is really kool! =^_^=
i only c one side as a black and wite and ont the other side colour wat is it soposed to do? :-)
yxvzbtdng kbiw fmuo apxm hsnbvary sqfcbunj iawj
that’s awesome!
Snap!!!
Yeah ! Its awsome…
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!!!!!!!
That was so cool! I love doing optical illusions! =)
oooooo i get it! on the baby, the side thats yellow, turns blue! wow thats so cool :D
i agree with Lixa.
:}
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.
it is a fack if you look on the babys head you can see a bule and yellow line
You made a mistake. The baby is meant to become normal once you have looked at the blue and yellow rectangles…
I don’t know if it’s just me or some underlying constant state of psychosis but whenever I do the colour adapt things, the cross apears to move in relation to the rectangle if stared at…
Also, if you stare at the cross for 30 seconds then look at something white (like the ceiling) there will be a purple and orange rectangle for a few seconds
thats sick, u dont really have to look at the baby u can look anywhere and the colors will be faint but still noticeable
sweet!
