New Optical Illusion : Orbison Illusion

New Optical Illusion : Orbison Illusion
The Orbison illusion is an optical illusion that was first described by the psychologist William Orbison in 1939. The bounding rectangle and inner square both appear distorted in the presence of the radiating lines.

The background gives us the impression there is some sort of perspective. As a result, our brain sees the shape distorted. This is a variant of the Hering and Wundt illusions.

Dimple Or Pimple Optical Illusion

Dimple Or Pimple Optical Illusion

At first impression most people dimples.In the absence of an obvious light source most people place an imaginary light source above the image (being earthlings living under the sun i suppose this is only natural). Because of this pre-conception we now imagine a shadow being cast at the top of the circles and light being caught on the bottom that is our assumption of where the light is coming from forces us to see indentations.
