Optical Illusion: Who Do You See, Marilyn Or Albert?

A recent optical illusion created by an MIT research group takes things several steps further, and provides insight into how the human brain processes images.

“Marilyn Einstein,” shown in the video above, appears first as a small, blurry picture of model Marilyn Monroe. But then, as the image zooms in, it appears to transform into a photo of physicist Albert Einstein. Monroe’s features are blurry and indistinct, while Einstein’s are finely drawn. Those fine details are only visible at closer distances, so the image appears to change as it zooms in (or as the viewer moves closer to it).

Your guess would reveal if you need glasses, lol
