A painting to help you evaluate your stress level

Theo Cẩm Anh VnXpress |

The painting consists of a seemingly sliding sphere that brings various hallucinations, used by neurologists as a psychological test.

Looking at the picture, you can see the circle moving slowly. Others said they found moving images very fast and had a headache when watching them for too long.

According to Professor of Neurology Yamamoto, Japan, if you see a still image, your body is healthy. When the photo moves slowly, you get a little stressed and tired. If you see the ball spinning continuously, you are stressed and may have psychological problems.

Dr. Alice Mado prof. Neurologist, University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy, who posted the photo, ensures that this is not a real real real or moving image. "The exact photo is a 100% static image," Ms. Alice said.

According to BBC, who specializes in research on how the human brain works, Dr. Alice explains that our minds are being deceived into thinking that the image is moving. This effect is created in the visual cortex, responsible for processing everything humans see.

In the visual cortex, there are V1, V2, V3, V4 and V5. In which, V4 is responsible for color and shape, prioritizing awareness of spiral and spherical shape; V5 (calledMT) is an area for processing 3D movements and images. This effect is triggered by the saturatation of V4 nerve cells, causing the speed at which V5 neurons move to be understood as a feeling signal.

"Two different images projected into the retina of each eye are a very complex interaction. Basically, it is an example of competition in the visual cortex. When a signal is impaired or inhibited for any reason, other factors may be expressed at a higher level of cognition, says Alice.

If you don't see any movement in your painting, try looking at it from another angle or you may not be using a large enough screen, says Dr. Alice. The effect can also vary depending on the distance the person sees the image.

When you look at this image for too long, the circle seems to move faster, causing you a headache and dizziness. This explains why many psychologists evaluate the stress level through the rapid movement of the photo.
