Albert or Marilyn? A Mind Game

Monday May 19, 2008

I'm not sure this works shrunk to the size limitation our blog format requires, but this is kind of cool, and it's popping up all over the place - an optical illusion that from one distance looks like Einstein and from another like Marilyn Monroe.

Really doesn't have much to do with classic movies, except it's a nifty way to show us how our brains are programmed to recopgnize faces -- especially famous faces like Marilyn's.

See it here full size. I'm not sure where it originated - none of the sites where I've seen it so far has offered a credit.
