  • alot of you guys are idiots.

  • Did anyone see the guy on the far left its a ghost

  • it's all about the light, if they didn't dim the light we won't have that illusion... if you don't believe me watch again, they dim the light while the face is turning it's back...

  • This is bullshit. I can see it both ways. It's like saying you're insane in you see two heads instead of the vase in the optical illusion.

  • I hardly believe what this video is telling us. True, why should we be considered 'mental' just because of seeing something as it is.

    I saw hollow for the first few turns. Then I momentarily saw the mask protruding out but upon the next turn, it returned back to concave (hollow). I don't see the point in knowing this. Whether you're partially schizophrenic or not doesn't make any difference to our individual personalities (or atleast that is the case for people who watch this video).

  • I had to play it twice to see it as unhollowed . . .

  • of course if anyone tries hard enough they can see it both ways.

  • actually, its scientifically proven that healthy minded people will see the mask facing toward them no matter which side is facing them, concave or convex. People with a mental illness will only see one side facing toward them and the other, convex or indented.

  • This is gay

  • I didnt see the illusion at first cuz my brain is not stupid, it's a hollow mask but I see what his saying I have to make myself think differently of the transition

  • . . .

    WHAT THE HECK.

    I saw it certianly hollow the first time

    and now I can only see the face >.< DAMMIT. YOU HAVE SCREWED ME OVER.

  • I hate the commentary but thumbs up anyway

  • I saw a ghost in the back ;O lmao or idunno prolly it b something else

  • 0:49 its amazing

  • i saw it has hallow 1st i saw it has a face maybe 3rd time round?

  • As the mask turns to the back you see concave, but as soon as the face starts to line up directly facing you, your mind will not accept that it looks hollow so you see convex. As it continues to turn and you start to see it in profile, the convex illusion dissipates and you see concave again.

  • I don't see the illusion. I guess it's supposed to pop out at you? I'm not schizophrenic... maybe it's the video quality?

  • Freaky

  • I saw convex but when I stared hard at it, forcing myself to think hollow, I saw hollow. So basically, when you're just looking at it, you'd see concave...when you OBSERVE, you see hollow....so I don't believe this finding is really valid.

  • @buillione

    Kind of like those "Right/Left Brain" illusions which can & DO go either way based on the way ur mind is working at the time!

  • @buillione concave IS hollow. convex is is the illusion you are supposed to be seeing.

  • Now I wish I wasn't schizophrenic just so I can see it haha.

  • I'm I the only one who saw it as hollow first?

  • @xXMyGodComplexXx If you did then you have Schizophrenia

  • @TheJasonDR errr... but I dont....

  • @xXMyGodComplexXx Schizophrenics are the only ones that can tell ...and schizophrenics never believe they have it

  • @TheJasonDR But im not schitzophrenic, im not delusional or anything, i cant be.

  • @xXMyGodComplexXx if you start hearing voices run to the hospital cuz it can be stopped if it is early with medicine

  • @TheJasonDR Thanks for the concern but im not schitzophrenic!

  • @xXMyGodComplexXx

    The firs time i saw the inside, only the nose was sticking out, then the 2nd time the whole inside was sticking out

  • Slendy?

  • Uncle bob when did you get out?

  • it keeps changing the direction it spins! i only say it as hollow the first 3 times i saw it! then after he said it didn't look hollow, now everyother time it looks convexing!

  • I can see it as hollow if I try but now my head hurts.

  • OMG Theres a troll in the corner of the video xD!!!

  • Is it just me, or else if you concentrate hard enough can you cancel out the illusion?

  • @luciferAir it was the opposite for me...i was so confused at first i didnt get the whole big deal just a hollow mask...then i concentrated watching it, and the back side finally popped out when it did i almost shit myself lol... but all in all its the opposite for me i have to concentrate to see the illusion lol weird

  • Green screen, you can see it.

  • Первые 3 поворота вогнутой её видел. И не мог понять, в чём прикол и как тут можно увидеть выпуклость. Но на 4ый раз она выпуклой стала :) Потом ещё много раз посмотрел - всегда выпуклая. Это видео вылечило меня от шизофрении? :)

  • Не работает, проверял выпивши, маска всегда выпуклая с обратной стороны)

  • LUCKY FOR ME I JUST UNSEE THE HOLLOW PART...

  • Looks like a camera trick to me, insides of masks have always looked hollow, whether on video or real life. Watching this carefully it seems to transition into a 3D face, I can't spot the mask lines anymore, I'm suspicious.

  • What amazes me about these studies is that researchers consider the "mentally ill' and "drugged" participants who are not fooled by this illusion as the defective ones. Clearly they are seeing reality, not the control group.

  • @rasputinslovechild1 the majority is the norm... for example, if everyone in the west have Aids, the few "lucky" enough will be the one considered defective, and scientists will create 1001 experiments to see what these few lacked that makes them unable to get aids

    Same thing with culture.. just because middle east-eastern culture is different.. the west considers them weird, backward and unmodern..

  • @fanthor I agree with your point but being a progeny of both east and west parents I can confidently say the same is true of eastern cultures. People see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear. If you show them different, right or wrong, it is you who are defective...

  • @rasputinslovechild1 the same lack of filters that make them immune to stuff like this is also the reason they don't know shitting out of windows is wrong though

  • @255ad Are you saying mental filters that keep you from seeing reality also make you soil your pants?

  • @rasputinslovechild1 they prevent you from seeing what's important to understand and live in the world, instinctual, for instance I have autism and when I was younger I didn't make the connection between calling somebody fat and them being hurt because I didn't have filters to make me focus on that logical process

    P.S oh and not all craziness is the same

  • @rasputinslovechild1 they prevent you from seeing what's important to understand and live in the world, instinctual, for instance I have autism and when I was younger I didn't make the connection between calling somebody fat and them being hurt because I didn't have filters to make me focus on that logical process

    P.S oh and not all craziness is the same

  • @rasputinslovechild1 the lack the mental filters prevents them from focusing on things that normal people have an instinctual understanding of because of their filters, thus making living in the world difficult for them

    for instance I have autism and I didn't use to understand the connection between commenting on some one's appearance and them being hurt because I lacked the filters to focus my attention on that

    P.S not all crazy people have problems with information filtration in this way

  • I can not calmly watch as he stands there, give him 20$

  • kooool

  • The God Delusion sent me here

  • @relhage100. Same here, so what did you think of the book

  • So apparently seeing a face melting out of the side of the first face and rotate in the opposite direction is more natural than seeing the inside of what is obviously a plastic mask.

    Maybe if you'd never seen a mask before.

    I've certainly never seen a magical double-sided bust.

  • If a baby saw this before he saw a person, would it see the mask as it actually is? And if it sees it as it actually is, when it grows up, will it remember what it really is or will its brain trick it like it does to the rest of us?

  • @iAutomaticK that's some inception shit right there.

  • Comment removed

  • ha, slender mans in the corner

  • The inside of the mask is more reflective, so the amount of light reaching the camera is greater, so it compensates by darkening the entire image.

  • when the inside of the mask is facing you, the background light gets really dark, what's that about?

  • I don't understand, why are you psychotic if you see it the way it really is?

  • @portraitwords1 because normal people associate what they see with what they know. schizos cant do that properly. so when I (a hopefully non schizophrenic person) see the back side, my brain associates with the many images i have of normal sides, and goes "this is too much like it, it must also be normal", so i cant really tell which side is it

  • Oh my Head!

  • What has been seen, cannot be unseen :S saw it hollow once. :P

  • Sooo weird, gets me every time! This is the illusion they use for the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland. :D

  • It looks like the back of the mask is *bulging out*

  • I looked at it three times and i was able to unsee the illusion, guess im schizophrenic or something

  • Press 7

  • shiiiiiiiiiit, I saw it as hollow at first. But then I saw it. He's right, my brain refuses to see otherwise now. ;___;

  • glitch in the matrix

  • The way the light is illuminating the inside of the mask creates the illusion of volume, Like an orange in a painting.

  • So I've been watching this over and over for about a half hour now... I still don't see how it's supposed to 'rotate in the opposite direction' or how the nose supposedly sticks out when it's inverted. Stupid thing.

  • @Blackcatwitchgirl100 This actually means that you are insane. I'm not kidding, only psychiatric patients can not see it, this is scientifically proven.

  • @dutchbb1979

    What a suprise with that username rofl.

  • @Blackcatwitchgirl100 Same, I don't see any kind of illusion here.

  • @hazahaxa something wrong with your visual neurons then

    either that or you're pretty well trained to look at masks inside out

  • The illusion is more about the mysterious stranger in the top left of the screen...watch him closely.

  • forget the illusion, that mask gives me the creeps!

  • Didn't see it at all until I paused and tried to...

  • muy bueno!!!!! ^_^

  • i can see both

  • Co za asy...

  • OMG THERES A GUY IN THE LEFT CORNER OF THE VIDEO!

  • @RedBloodyWaspo Or is it? :))

  • Who the guy behind the door???

  • I saw it as hollow until I looked for it. Now I cannot unsee it.

  • @eastcoastguitardude dude, i thought the exact same thing

  • @eastcoastguitardude same here, i saw another on and i tried my best to make it look unhollow but it wouldnt work, same with this one, just that it worked, and i cant unsee it either....

  • @eastcoastguitardude Ahahah same wtff

  • На Пикабу все нормальны =)))

  • @crashpilot2 at least half of your experiment was a success ;)

  • wow my teacher showed this to my class and we were all so freakin amazed....

  • @crashpilot2 haha, how's it going?

  • taka a good look to his moustache

  • I like his accent lol

  • я шизофреник получается

    

  • I could only see it hollow I had to make myself see it sticking out for it to work

  • I see it hollow. Oh shit.

  • in case you feel like trying to see what i see, just try mentally pulling the mask inside out like you would if you had the mask in your hands

  • i don't know about any of you, but i can see it both ways at my own choosing...it's a bit difficult to switch back to viewing it normally though.

  • It didn't work for me until I looked for it, and after I saw it the first time, I couldn't see it as hollow again.

  • That was interesting, Both states are accessible.

  • stink it. I tried so hard ot see it concave. Oh well, guess I have a healthier brain than I thought.

  • all you have to do is remember witch way it is spinning

  • Блин, я большую часть видео смотрел на мужика слева!

    P.S.Его вообще кто-нибудь заметил хоть?)

  • Duuuuuuuude...

  • it didn't work on me

  • That was badass

  • If you really want to see the concave part of the face as concave, turn the monitor or the video upside down, then you will see it without any brain trickery.

  • Richard Dawkins explains that in ''The God Delusion''.

  • I don't get it. I see it as hollow.

  • @boxer4356 They say that those with damaged, schizophrenic, drunk, or high brains will see it as "hollow" and all other people will see it as normal.

    Just saying ;)

  • Whoa, trippy

    

  • didn't work till he said it sposed to pop out

  • This is giving me the highest mind-fuck. This is better than any other optical illusion I've ever seen.

  • i only saw it on the second half of the vid..wouldnt of picked it up otherwise..now i cant see anythign but the other face lol

  • FFFUUUUUUUUUUU--

  • fuck that

    whos the guy looking at mask ?

  • I am quite hypnotized by the voice of the old man...

  • I am quite hypnotized by the voice of the old man...

  • Inside the MRI chamber a custom-made prism stereoscope was placed on the head coil that ensured that the left picture was projected to the left eye of the subject and the right picture to the right eye. The result was that the subject perceived a single 3D face in the middle of the display. Pseudoscopy, or binocular depth inversion, was induced by exchanging the pictures from the left and right sides. 2D faces were presented by showing the same picture to both eyes.

  • I don't see the illusion. Its concave. whats the illusion.

  • @my1hampster I don't take drugs.

  • @nofxmike06 I really am sorry to hear that. Schizophrenia by itself isn't really a bad thing, but I'd get a doctor's opinion before something later in life sets off a more serious, latent problem, as occurs in some people. A simple question to help you gauge this is, do you sometimes honestly, in ever sense of belief, believe something to be true/false when more than one other person with the same information as you defends the opposite side? Obviously, don't answer to me, but to yourself.

  • @my1hampster

    Yes, I honestly am not in tune with others opinions, and I am able to see the illusion. But maybe just because people are idiots :D

  • @alienhated Me too. But that's opinions. It's more about observing a factual event.

  • @my1hampster This is absurd.  I see the illusion. I'm schizophrenic. This is junk.

  • @888archangel You're probably misdiagnosed, which happens a lot by psychologists. You're probably shizotypal.

  • i disliked it cause first i saw it hollow, then when i actually understand whats going i could never see it the same way :( its like the saying, "once you go black, you can never go back"

  • I saw this in my Sociology class I thought it was pretty intersting! 

  • @ladeewishes Do tell. Seems more like a sociology experiment than a valid diagnostic tool. I find it odd people would, it seems, accept they have some affliction and see it as a uniqueness. Plus it's just dumb and even harmful to some who may be trying to come to terms that what they are experiencing is an illness, when they see the illusion.

  • @888archangel It is a diagnostic tool in a clinical setting. fMRIs are the proof; one trait of true schizophrenia is a complete dissociation between the frontal lobe and the visual cortex, thus mental flow is one directional and leaves much room for 'misperceptions' and hallucinations. Psychoactive drugs also temporarily causes this, so a really high or drunk person can fail to see illusions or seem to flip back and forth at lower doses. Without expensive equipment misdiagnosis is fairly easy.

  • @my1hampster Under laboratory conditions, by presenting each eye with a separate image of the same face, with each photo taken at slightly different angle towards the displayed face. To produce this effect, the following technique was used: stimulus pairs were projected via a NEC 2001 colour projector onto the window that separates the MRI chamber from the operating room. On this window white paper was placed that afforded a high resolution display for the stimulus pairs.

  • @my1hampster This is obviously not the same thing as what the experiment was, making this video useless. You have no sources, not theory of why this should be, are more than a little pretentious while talking about what you have no idea about, or even slightly grasp what schizophrenia is. Regardless form the experiment we don't if the people were psychotic, in remission, age gender etc. All these factors play a part, as well as their medications and a host of other factors.

  • @888archangel You're talking about psuedoscopic imaging, which is not the same thing. You're pretentious and I'm arrogant. Use context correctly; I'm a psychology major. I acknowledge YouTube is not a clinical setting and my methods are extreme: I'm giving insight firmly so that people might take it seriously enough to look into it. This is still valid enough to show disposition towards mental illnesses. And regardless of the methods used, the experiment is 100% valid with no outliers.

  • @my1hampster derrrrrrrrrrrr

    

  • @my1hampster There is NO single diagnostic test for schizophrenia. After you're done with psy 101, I recommend an ethics class. Scientists are still unable to determine with visual Postmortem examination of the brain whether they suffered from schizophrenia or not. There is no known brain chemical imbalance in schizophrenia. There are far more ways to determine mental illness and far better ways than this absurd claim, that charlie Chaplin on youtube can. This has no reliability at all.

  • Ура, я шизофреник!

  • fuck!

  • you're blowing my mind!!!! all over the wall

  • Found a way to see it correctly. When its coming around. just stare the bow tie until the mouth appears. Then stare the line between mouth and tie. Do not look straight into the eyes as this will probably bring back the illusion.

    Important thing is to see the bow tie, eyes, nose and mouth moving in the same

    direction.

  • I can go back and forth, I see both. I can also see it in several slices, where the nose inverts at 25%, goes to full face, then by 50% returns to being the inside of the mask. Depends on what I want to see.

  • I actually saw it as hallow the first time it went around. I had to sort of look at it to make it not hallow looking. Now my brain refuses to see it as it is though.

  • @masterohumans

    me too.. >.<

    

  • Comment removed

  • How did you do that or r my eyes r messed up

  • what does it mean if you can see the illusion but flip it back to concave within the same rotation? and it took me like five views to actually get what the heck was going on is there something wrong with me???????????????

  • God, it took me forEVER to figure out what the hell this guy was talking about!

    I just saw the mask as it was - concave!

    I practically squinted my eyes to figure out it was supposed to look like another face...

  • What if you're somewhere along the spectrum of schizophrenia... like schizotypical or schizoaffective? What do you see in the back of the mask then?

  • WOW YOU AR ASOME (IS THIS YOUR VID?) COOL!

  • How come you're schizophrenic if you see the mask for what it really is: hollow? A healthy brain sees the hollow part of the mask sticking out like another pale mask, but that's not really there, it's an illusion! So wouldn't that mean you're schizophrenic?

  • Am I the only one that sees the optical illusion go away when the mask is almost sideways?

  • THATS CRAZYY!!!!

  • i just got mind fucked.

  • ОО и я не шизик :/

  • Cool illusion

  • weird thing--at first i was not able to see the illusion! i saw the concave, hollow inside of the mask. however, now that i see the illusion, it's hard for me to see it in the way i was before...

  • @bluevlilac09 just kidding...after looking through the comments this has happened to quite a lot of people

  • @bluevlilac09 haha same!

  • Great illusion!

  • мкс гавно

  • Чё за бред?

  • А я - шизофреник, но маска выпуклая. Тест лоханулся.

  • Шизофреник тот, кто считает что видит то, что не может видеть

  • wtf! L O L

  • Хабропривет

  • уффф. легче стало стразу я не шизик!

  • Кто с хабра палец вверх!)

  • What if I saw the real mask the first time, but have seen the illusion every subsequent time?

  • @lanegwyn lol means ur schizophrenic. Im reading about schiz right now and I remember a guy telling me if I say it concave I was schizophrenic. So I came back to look at it again. I see it the way u do. How could you not realize the illusion after seeing it a couple times?
