Batu69 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Incredible optical illusion makes objects in plain view disappear Stare at the dot in the middle of the animation. Do you notice anything unusual? Apart from possible nausea, the graphic will induce an unexpected phenomenon — blindness. But don't worry, it's just your mind playing tricks on you. As you focus closely on that middle dot while the grid rotates, the three yellow dots on the outside will begin to disappear. If you shift your eyes away from the centre, the dots will all reappear. The phenomenon is called 'motion-induced blindness,' and it is a trick of the eye that can cause a person to lose sight of stimuli that are in plain view. MOTION-INDUCED BLINDNESS Motion-induced blindness causes a person to lose sight of objects that are in plain view. This optical phenomenon may be a way of separating unchanging background stimuli from 'artifacts of damage.' In the animation, the yellow dots will disappear to the viewer as he or she focuses on the center dot. Any movement of the eye, however, will bring all dots back into sight. Researchers have written that motion-induced blindness is not a failure to cope with visual input, but instead is a functional response, acting as 'logic of perception.' By this definition, this phenomenon is not actually blindness. Instead, the mind knowingly eliminates certain objects from view.
