Look at this picture for about 30 seconds and focus on the dots on the nose.


after the thirty seconds turn and look at a wall or ceiling and blink lots. Something weird happens.

In the back of our eyes its like a film before you develop it. Its just the opposite, light is dark and dark is light.

It's called "retinal bleaching." The light from the picture "uses up" the visual pigments for the displayed color. When you look at a light-colored background after that, the depletion of the original pigments gives you the complementary colors, which were inverted in the picture you saw.

Here's one I just did. When you look at the light-colored space after staring at the picture (a good spot is staring at his teeth), it helps to blink a bit to "refresh" the image.

I wonder if we can take one of our pictures and somehow change it to look like that. That would be cool
