Very Freak illusion

Indeed, very ugly!

I noticed the mouth but not the nose! I made it a point to get fooled, loved it

im scared!!!! mommy!!!!!!

Kinda dumb, not really an illusion

not an illusion

looks photoshopped

Wow, the eyes and nose really got me

Ha ha looks photoshopped??? I can gaurenteed it is photoshopped. And if if isn't why would he be happy?

I haven't been here from the beginning but I have seen my fare share of these. I came here right when you were able to "customize" google, right when the widget came out. I can't remember when that was. Hey, next post can you make a link to your very first illusion on this site? I would really like to see what it is!

Why can't a photoshopped pic be a great illusion? And how come lots of people think it's only lame photo manipulation?

The point of this is just how simple and ridiculous manipulation can easily fool our brain. It's deeply determined by the fundamental principles of how our brains perceive and recognize human faces. There is an entire scientific field dedicated to it. I found it's completely fascinating since my major is neuroscience, or maybe I'm just a nerd.

P.S. I've been a fan of this great site for a long time. Thanks for all the good work, keep it up~

Hey - I think it's as good an illusion as you'll get! I thought it was only the mouth that had been stunted until I scrolled down o_O

thats very cool! i first noticed that the mouth was really strange on the first pic, than i looked at the other pic it was really freaky!!

FRRREEAAKKKYY!
At first i'm like, Oh just a face turned upside down. Then I looked at thee second picture and i'n like Eeeewww. XP

I noticed it immediatly. It's wasn't hard

I love showing these kinds of illusions to my friends...heh, heh, heh...

Ooh ooh pick me I know why you don't tend to notice it. It's because we, as a species, don't tend to hang upside down from trees or rafters etc. Therefore, our brain isn't used to processing upside down faces. When I was little one of my friends was doing a handstand and I didn't actually recognise him! However, as monkeys, as a species are used to hanging upside down from trees etc. they are used to seeing faces upside down, and so would be able to spot a face distorted in that way much more easily.
