I could never see the dress as black and blue until this video. I guess him holding up the dress first fixed my brain for a couple seconds and I could see the image as black and blue. Then half a second later I remembered what the white and gold "version" in my head looked like and it changed back to white and gold immediately. But now I can kinda trick my brain into seeing it as black and blue and it's the coolest thing I've ever seen.

@coalblooded 3 місяці тому
I think one time I was able to trick my brain into seeing white and gold, but only for a brief second, and I haven't been able to get that version back. I think it starts with convincing my brain that the top of the dress's black part is actually gold, in a sepia-like filter or something. But I just can't do it again apparently lol

@robopecha 22 дні тому
i am a black/blue person and a night owl (so that makes sense!) and i always was reminded of the way white and blue can change with bad lighting and bad cameras, so i assumed it was some case of automatic brain color correction for the white/gold people. and it seems like it was and i wish he would have explained the morning/night person thing a bit more in detail. but it makes sense that the white/gold people with the help of this video can see the black/blue, but the black/blue people cannot see the white/gold. because why would they color correct a picture, if they already see the correct version! i am wondering now in what other situations the morning/night people see differently.

One interesting illusion I've experienced first hand was sitting in a room with dark green curtains on a sunny day and suddenly noticing everything outside that room looked kind of pink. So probably what happened there was my brain subconsciously adjusted to see colors "normally" in a room strongly lit by green light and also applied that adaptation to things that were not in the same green light environment, instead lit by white lamp light.

What about the thumbnail for the video? In that, I saw it as very light blue and bronze. But in the video itself, the actual dress on his desk looked clearly dark blue and black, whereas the images he showed were more like a sky blue and brown. (At least, that how I saw it.) Admittedly, when this phenomenon was all the craze a decade ago, I saw it as blue and black sometimes, and at other times, a very, very pale (almost white) blue and gold or light brown. Sometimes I was looking at the exact same image, but in one instance, it would appear one way and on another instance, it would appear as the other. The funny thing was that once I looked, looked away, and looked back at it, it's appearance always remained the same. It was only if I completely went on to something else and stopped thinking about it, but then saw it again, it would look the other way.

I recently came across the dress photo. I saw it twice in the same day but the color changed. I noticed my blue light filter was on when I re-viewed the photo. Turning on/off the blue light night mode made the dress change between black/blue to gold/silver at a push of the button. This likely factored in on people viewing the dress when it went viral.
@Hyperdriveuk Рік тому
It's just massively over exposed photo with 2700k lights... I put it on photoshop, make some minor tweaks and it looks just like the dress he has in the studio. Perhaps the white/gold people don't have the ability to process color like that... hence the "night vision" my brain just tells me... it's too light, so in the dark it's blue & black.

This was an amazing reminder of why I love this field of study so much. Life is so much more than what is face value, how incredible is that?!

Love the way he explains things. He keeps it joyful and entertaining and doesn’t make you feel dumb about things which helps you understand and grasp what he’s talking about better. You can tell he’s not only intelligent but charismatic in a way and has a passion for what he’s talking about. Kinda makes him really hot ngl. 😭😭

There are some illusions that I've never seen and when he mentioned that artists can see through some of them, it all made sense.

Love to see my friend Pascal on WIRED! Such a great teacher!

I just wanna say I love the name Pascal. Blaise Pascal is probably one of the coolest sounding names out of science imo.

This is so cool! I really hope WIRED has him back. I'd be curious to know why I see both versions of The Dress.

Yes!! I loved that presentation! I am an artist and I do see some of those illusions differently. I also love the illusion of a light or dark background in a painting changing the overall image color impression. Something I learned in color theory in college 30 years ago... 🤔😁

An interesting effect of the motion blindess one I noticed. I got the described effect when looking at the moving image, but also, after it left the screen, I was still seeing afterimages of the 3 dots for a few seconds. Even though I was never looking directly at them.
