neat trick i learned today from a facebook post.

take any image, colors->invert, then put a red dot for you to stare at it doesn't really matter where the red dot is.
in the below image the red dot is where the two hands are about to meet.
stare at the red dot for 30 seconds, then look at a blank wall and blink repeatedly and the magic happens.
Image

here are some more to see.
red dot is on the nose of the adult.
Image

red dot is on the nose as well of the brother.
Image

red dot is on the nose of figure.

Yes; the bases of the inverted Jesus image shared many years ago (even before personal computers existed). Your mind inverts the colors when you do this. Why? Not sure. I'm not a doctor. :)

More then likely it's your brain that's doing the color inversion Tran. ;)

Quantum physics enables revolutionary imaging method

There might be a partial explanation here, but it is kind
of technical and this is more about light, although it is a picture of a cat.

It's because your retinas get an imprint of the image. Kind of like one of those older plasma monitors. Then when you look away you can still see it. Same reason you keep sunspots or flash burn for a few minutes after it happens.

sounds like a very plausible explanation,
and more like how the eye actually works.

thanks
