| Pull this into photoshop or the GIMP if you don't believe it. |

Wow. I didn't believe it, so I pulled it into Photoshop. The human brain is full of crap.

Now I know why I struggle so much to clone dust spots off what looks like a plain background.

It's the first thing I did. Pulled it into the GIMP and compared. Even after showing they're the same, I still have trouble seeing it in the actual image. |

OMG, very cool! :)
I tried half closing/narrowing my eyes but it's so hard to tell they are the same, but they definitely are! |

| That is one of the most effective illusions of all time. You simply don't believe it until you prove it to yourself. |

| The worst of it is: no matter how hard you force your brain to see that they are the same after you have proved it to yourself, it just doesn't happen. |

just goes to show how much of reality is perception.
our brains only gather a small part of what our eyes see and interprets the rest. |

Wow... Usually with an illusion, after you know the answer, you can see it. I still swear that it isn't, even after bringing it into Photoshop. So I printed it out and cut it out. (knowing of course that it's true... but still...)
Freaky...

| I just turned my phone flat and they are the same. The other tones shift also. Strange! |

| if this were a painting site, most of you would be very familiar with this illusion. You can create similar effects with color as well. Everything is defined by what's next to it. |

It's the same with humans - that's where they came up with the phrase "guilt by association" :P |

| Our brains are wired to rely on shadows to help create a reality of what we see, even if it is not true. I love these sort of illusions. Thanks for posting. |
