Optical Illusions Etc...: Color Me Brain Damaged

Description Presented here is a vast gallery of many different forms of Optical Illusions. Whether these optical illusions are conveyed through fractals, photographs, architecture, art, or old fashioned pen and ink, they are bound to remind you that "seeing is not believing."

Caution!!!! Some of the optical illusions on this blog may cause dizziness or possibly epileptic seizures. The latter happens when the brain can't handle the conflicting information from your two eyes. If you start feeling unwell when using this website, immediately cover one eye with your hand and then leave the page. Do not close your eyes because that can make the attack worse.

Color Me Brain Damaged

If your not careful you might hurt your brain on this one. The younger kids will beat the adults on this test every time.

Look at the chart and say the color not the word.

Left-Right Conflict
Your right brain tries to say the color but
Your left brain insists on reading the word.

Update: This is known as the Stroop Effect. Named after John Ridley Stroop born on March 21, 1897. Sandlot Science has a great interactive demo of this effect.
