The puzzling image is crafted to deceive your eyes into perceiving colors that aren't actually present. After gazing at a parrot's eye for 15 seconds, the picture shifts from color to black and white, yet our eyes perceive distinct variations.
A trick of the eye makes transforms blue sections into what seems like pink, and pink segments into blue.
This occurrence is an example of a negative afterimage, wherein the color you perceive becomes reversed or inverted compared to the initial one.
An afterimage is a sort of optical illusion where the image persists even after exposure to the original image has ended.
If you've stared at something for a prolonged period and still see it even after moving your eyes away, you may have experienced this phenomenon.
There are two main types of afterimages: positive afterimages and negative afterimages.
A positive afterimage occurs when you continue to see the same colors as you originally saw, even after the stimulus has worn off. This can happen when the lights were turned off or when you've closed your eyes.
You can still see the image in its original colors because some cells in the retina continue to send signals to the brain for a while after being stimulated.
Negative afterimages can cause colors to appear inverted or reversed, as demonstrated by the parrot image above.
This phenomenon leads to perceiving an image with colors opposite to its original appearance. This occurs due to the overstimulation and subsequent desensitization of the rods and cones in the retina.
What colors did you perceive in the image?
