I've always wondered about this myself. I do know that with some mental conditions (such as schizophrenia for example), that people tend to see some optical illusions differently. In this illusion, for example, schizophrenics tend not to be fooled by the mask and see it the way it really is.

I could see it was hollow straight away... :x And the ones on your link, I got the true match. I don't have schizophrenia though. I mean I've never been tested, but I don't have it.


Hello iliketrees,

Thanks for sharing as well. Good to meet you!

Hi :D

Here's another illusion that schizophrenics are less likely to be fooled by than others. http://www.moillusions.com/schizophrenia-test/ The weird thing is that I got both of the answers correct for this one (and I'm definitely not schizophrenic) so it's possible that autistic people are better at this test than neurotypicals. But then again that may just be me.

I also got both of them correct but not because I could see the correct shade but because I know the trick and I took in consideration that the actual contrast is a little higher than I see.
I seen the shade 1 shade away from the correct answer in both cases. So my eyes still got fooled a little bit but I wasn't anywhere near the typical match.

But to be honest I couldn't see any of the answers as 100% correct one. I did get the contrast thing almost right but for me both pictures were still different in... color. The picture in middle was a bit blueish gray while all the choices were all just gray.

I guess illusions work for me just fine but differently than they are supposed to. They should affect contrast but they affect color for me.

Hi Kiriae,

Huh... interesting. Well, the bluish could just be the monitor RGB compensation for that particular lightening in shade. Don't know, though. It kind of has that same effect on me. Also, yeah I pick about a shade darker because I intellectually reason that it would be simply because it's presented as a problem to solve.

I've learned long ago that nothing is really what it seems to be. Especially when it comes to sight.

By the way, I like your avatar. It looks like a drawing.

Someone just shared this video, which they're claiming the brain can't process. It's just a cute optical illusion of women dancing in a line wearing black and white suits. I can see how it can trick people but it took me a while to figure it out. Otherwise it just looked like women dancing.

This is rather unique and plays with my mind a little. But I can easily switch back and forth from seeing it for what it is and the illusion effect (looks almost like an extra woman in the dance line wearing either all black or all white).
