Here is a sample of the Einstein Face Illusion. Notice how it appears to pop out at you, but in fact is concave!

This was used in a child psychology study in to see if 5-7 month olds could see this illusion the same way adults do. The earrings were used to make the outside of the face as interesting as the inside, to eliminate variables. :) And yes, we called them "Al's Earrings."
