Check out this cool animated .gif file, one that Markus compiled and decided to present us with! It’s shows a well known relative sizes effect, which is characterized by visually perceived images that differ from objective reality. It results with our eyes seeing one thing, while our brain sees something entirely different. The information that [...]

The game is simple – All you have to do is count how many boulders are present inside the picture. Is it 9? No, wait! There are 10! No, wait…I [...]
