A new video went viral on the social network TikTok and has already accumulated more than 1.3 million views. Viewers are getting quite scared by the images, but the video becomes even fun after the scare wears off.
To see the effect, you must look at the center of the video. Let's go:
Indeed, when looking at the video for a long time, the beautiful faces of celebrities on both sides apparently transform into grotesque visages, like the demonic faces in the movie Lawyer Devil. And then, were you also scared or thought that the video does not deserve such a fuss?!
This altered perception is a result of a "flash face distortion effect", which is basically a visual illusion. impressive in which faces presented sequentially in the peripheral vision start to look more and more strange after shortly.
This type of effect has already become the subject of a scientific study, but the researchers have not come to a solid conclusion, although believe that it has something related to a phenomenon called “visual aftereffects”, which can be translated as “visual effects posterior”.
Aftereffects are, in short, a hypothesis that the brain is not fast enough to process some visual information, and therefore ends up mixing images that have already been seen before with the current ones when forming an image new.
Whatever the possible scientific explanation for this effect is, the fact is that the video is impressive and generates comments like “how grotesque” or else “it even seems that the faces are melting”, in addition to the uncontrollable desire to pause the video in order to check that the images do not change while we are distracted.
