Optical Illusion of The Day: 3D Tattoo

Posted: 07 Nov 2013 04:53 PM PST

If you love tattoos then you probably appreciate their originality and designs. If you like optical illusions then you enjoy probably enjoy the mind games and twists in them. Have you ever thought about what happens when you blend the two together? On top of that combine it with a super hero and you’ve got yourself one fantastic 3D tattoo. When I first heard of this I personally thought it would be an awesome idea, and once I checked some out the first one I had found was of a black widow spider crawling out of a man’s shoulder. It was at that point I decided that some ideas just should not come to life. However this amazing 3D tattoo along with many others will blow your mind or even make your jaw hit the floor. The one you see below had me in awe when I first saw it. The only thing I could think of is why I also did not have something like this.

Most people get tattoos to symbolize something significant, a memory, or even for a loved one. I myself have two, one of which I got with my own sister but this is by far one of the most unique tattoos I have ever seen myself. These types of tattoos take hours to complete just as much as they do patience. To be able to sit in one spot while someone is crafting these types of 3D tattoos takes sheer determination. If you like 3D illusions or just 3D images you should take a look at our Check Out This 3-D Optical Illusion Candleholder.

Not only does this take extreme patience to be able to sit through this would take complete dedication to Spider-Man as well. I personally prefer Batman over all super heroes, but i do not think i love him enough to tattoo any of him onto my body permanently. However maybe this man got bit by a spider, and maybe he sincerely felt he was changed, and just maybe he had such a connection with Spider-Man that he felt the world must know.

No matter what the case may be or even what your preferences are I highly suggest taking a look at some other different 3D Tattoos. These are a fantastic mix of art, design, and illusions. I would advise if you looking to find one for yourself do not pick one out after drinking, you may wake up with a black widow on your shoulder. Let me know what you think of this one, or any others you may find, and share any others you have found to be exciting.

Brain Teaser: Stroop Effect

Posted: 07 Nov 2013 12:18 PM PST

Enjoy a good brain teaser every now and then? If you said yes to this then I dare you to take a chance at this brain teaser. The object of this exercise is to say the name of the color the word is printed in, not what the word says. The second part of this brain teaser is you must say it at a normal speaking pace. I will even give you three tries to get through it without slowing down. Can't seem to get it? Do not worry, you are not the only one having trouble. The better question is; how can this be so difficult? This brain teaser is actually part of what is called "The Stroop Test."

If Stroop has a test, then what is the actual effect you ask? Well, the Stroop effect is an example of the interesting case where the brain's reaction time actually slows down when it has to deal with conflicting information. This delayed reaction time is happening because of a processing delay that is caused by competing functions in your brain. This effect is named after John Ridley Stroop who published a paper back in 1935 but the effect had been studied abroad before Stoop's publishing's.

Brain Teaser: Stroop Effect So what does all that mean exactly? It basically means in this brain teaser there is a conflict between what we read and what we perceive. Yellow should not be green. Red should not be blue. This sort of illusion also happened in our Test for the Sharp Minded as well. It is also possible that this task is difficult because it requires both hemispheres of our brain to work together. This brain teaser causes both sides of your brain to work at the same time and that is not something that is usually done. Some theories state that the brain reads words faster than it recognizes colors. So when you go to say the color your mind has already read the word, crazy right? After several attempts of the same pattern you may be able to say it without stopping, but change up the words and colors you would have to start all over again. It is an interesting feeling to have your brain actually fight it out with your mouth, I myself came up with words and colors I do not believe even exist.

The great part about this test is it doesn't just come in words and colors. This brain teaser can actually be done numerous ways and each is just as difficult to do. I have seen some where they are using shapes and colors with mismatched shape names and other colors underneath and you must again attempt to say what shape is printed and the color it is printed it. No matter the use of colors, words, shapes, or symbols the Stroop Test has the same results across the board. This is just another fun brain teaser to do with your friends and see who comes up with the weirdest words and colors.
