We've all seen those nature photos that are oddly reflective, causing a displacement of the objects in the image. But what's going on there? Some people thought they saw things, while others couldn't wrap their heads around what was happening in the photo. It turns out it's just an optical illusion!
It's no secret that photography can be used to capture and evoke powerful emotions. Still, a recent study has found that something seemingly innocuous as reflections can profoundly impact how we process photos. According to the study, when people are shown reflection photos, their brains process the images in a significantly different way from regular non-reflection photos. The study's results were so surprising that they messed with some people's heads.
