If you see the color red in these visual games, you are already being deceived by your brain.

sometimes our brain It plays tricks on us, some without realizing it, and on other occasions being deceived even though we are aware of it, and optical illusions are capable of playing with our minds at will.

Now on TikTok a series of games of optical illusions both from a traffic light and from a can from a well-known soft drink company.

The first game is that of a red light. As you well know, in a traffic light we can find the color red, the color amber and the color green.

It is something that our brain knows very well, and that it can identify even when there is very little visibility, but sometimes fooling us. Now this optical illusion can make us doubt that the upper side is red when it is really gray.

And it is that when the cyan filter is removed, you can see that in reality the upper light is not red, but rather gray, and our mind he has deceived us

TikTok user @beatonthebeeb, specialized in visual games, explains that “it’s your brain working overtime convincing you of the color red”.

This is why you see it in red

Explain that at the back of the human eye are photoreceptors, which are cells that respond to incoming light.

Human beings have three types of cone cells, and each of them is more sensitive to a particular color, be it red, green or blue.

The color cyan is a combination of green and blue, which means that a cyan filter only lets those two colors through, except for red.

So when a cyan filter is placed over red light, in this case the traffic light, visual deception occurs.

This happens because our brain knows the context, that of the red traffic light, and literally makes us imagine that the upper light should be red.

But when you zoom in on the top of the traffic light or remove the cyan filter, you see that we were actually looking at gray and not red.

Other optical illusion It is that of a can from a well-known soft drink company. It does exactly the same thing, it puts a cyan color filter on it. In this soda can case, a cyan stripe next to a gray stripe can make gray appear red.

They are one of those visual games that have gone viral on TikTok, and that are capable of fooling some of our senses such as sight.
