The human brain is the least understood organ in the body and it’s for a good reason. Our brains display millions of phenomenon’s that not even the best psychologists or biologists have even begun to understand. We can understand complex ideas and theories, read emotions and understand different languages but then simple illusions have our brains completely baffled. Here are some really confusing but amazing illusions that will mess with your brain.

1- Turn your eyes orange. Stare right into the middle of the little eye in the centre for about a minute. Once the time is up, look into a mirror and stare at the bridge of your nose and your eyes should look orange for a few seconds. This illusion works best if you have brown eyes but blue or green eyes should still change slightly too.

2- See a black and white picture in colour. This video will show you an image with its colours inverted. To explain it very basically, the contrast will cause fatigue in your eye muscles and your brain will somehow fill in the colours on the black and white image.

3- See more words appear as you move away from your screen. For this illusion, you’ll need to start slowly backing away from your screen and you should see the other words appear. You’ll notice that when you come close again, the words ‘two’ and ‘three’ will completely disappear.

    4/5 If you love a good theme, Las Iguanas is a restaurant you might like to try. The Latin American-style chain has restaurants all over the country, but I recently popped into the one on Grey Street just down from the Theatre Royal.

  • Books Book Review: 1984 by George Orwell
    1/5 1984 is always cited as one of the best books ever written. It’s supposed to be intelligent, sharp and profound. Instead, I found it to be dull, rambling and unremarkable. Oh, and rampantly sexist. George Orwell was clever – I’ve read his essays and I like them. But 1984? It was hard to believe […]
