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.

@hc7092 5 месяцев назад

I saw 1) light blue and 2) dark gold 😩

@coalblooded 5 месяцев назад

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

@o0Donuts0o 2 месяца назад

I have never and do not see white and gold. It makes zero sense to me. All this time I also believed that anyone who said they saw white and gold were just saying that to be artificially different and seem interesting.

@robopecha 2 месяца назад

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 of my favorite instructors of all time. When I was a student at NYU, I took his sensation and perception class and it altered my entire life trajectory. Watching this was a fantastic reminder of how efficiently he communicates these sometimes dense concepts merely by exuding his palpable passion about how insightful these illusions can be with regards to the way the brain is creating models of external inputs.

@karalyzel3177 12 дней назад

@@ChristelVinotLarge grocery stores have an insane amount of money and effort put into psychological manipulation of customers. Whether that's through brands bidding on central shelf space, artificial scents in certain parts of the store, (typically bakery sections), things as simple as spreading out the most common purchases to make you see the entire store, it's quite interesting. While a larger cart let's you carry more, there's more to it than convenience. Look at how stores have few hand baskets, or put them well into the entrance past carts. That's so you don't use them and the other methods of pushing purchases aren't thwarted by limited space. Marketing is a crazy field.

@nobody0715 Год назад

I always asked my Physics teachers and adults in general as to why things like fidget spinners and tops spin in reverse at times and they were dismissive of my questions and said that it was not true. I thought the "wagon wheel illusion" as I know now, was something that happened exclusively to me. Finally got the answer to one of the most intriguing of my childhood queries. P.S. I loved watching tops spin, and fans and in general anything in rotational motion for this very reason, I still do.

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.

@skyhawk_4526 Год назад

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.

@marymcintyre1702 Год назад

@dsimpson530 Год назад

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 Год назад

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 genuinely one of the most interesting videos I've seen in a very long time.

"Ruin ducks" by telling us they're all wearing cute little dog masks? Ducks just got bumped up a few points XD

3:50 okay, only issue I got with this is that this video is at 30fps. So that 60fps example won't do anything because the video isn't at 60 😅

@BillyBraga Год назад

This!! (the video is actually 24fps, but it changes nothing)

what a brilliant video, Pascal you are the goat of explaining things well enough for me to understand

@briwindau4861 Год назад

This is amazing and I love the detail for explaining what's happening in each instance. The simplest overview I've heard about some of these is "your brain is smart, your eyes are dumb".

I could listen to this guy speak for hours. Fascinating stuff.

@sherryb1083 Год назад

I really surprisingly enjoyed this. So many of the things covered here, I've always wondered about. Great video.

@flapper3370 Год назад

Love these in general, but this one in particular has to be the most interesting I've seen. Fascinating subject, thank you wired and Prof. Wallisch!

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

You know someone is a great teacher when you are fully engaged in every moment. That's how I felt here. This man must be a brilliant professor.

@FrotLopOfficial Год назад

I agree, he had me hooked. Lots of practical demos to keep me engaged and technical stuff my friend beside me was loving too

Came for the dress, stayed for the knowledge. This was awesome . Thanks for having me on the show. Hopefully, it was sufficiently interesting/helpful..

@lyva Год назад

You forever destroyed the dress picture for me by showing the actual one. I always wondered why people said that it is blue and black. I was so sure it’s gold and white. Now I can’t unsee

@tfulookinatm8 Год назад

it has ALWAYS been black and blue. Wtf is wrong with people for seeing something different?

@huawafabe Год назад

@@tfulookinatm8 same i could never force myself to see it white and gold

@rcnhsuailsnyfiue2 Год назад

I couldn’t believe it when he said 2/3rds of people see gold and white! I thought the vast majority were like me - seeing black and blue is just so obvious that it must be true. Laughed when I realised I’m a night owl too… 🦉

@jlzombiecat Год назад

I never could see it as the gold and white. Black and blue here, and I am a night owl. I can also see the car wheels spinning backwards and never thought until now that it was not something everyone could see.

@abigaaeel Год назад

@@tfulookinatm8 the guy literally explains how or why ppl might see it differently 😅

@KxNOxUTA Год назад

That was amazing and Mr. Wallisch has such a pleasant and friendly way to explain things. :D I knew a lot about illusions already but some things were new and with others I didn't know the brain workings behind them!
