My edit:
Note that most people see the above image with the red layer being visually "above" the blue layer. A much smaller number of people see the blue layer being "above" the red layer. A very small number of people are just color blind enough to see absolutely no difference between the perceived height difference in the colors.
Personal note, I for one have noticed this phenomenon is BWillie's signature. If anybody else has sigs enabled, please check out BWillie's partifular sig and see if it looks the same to you if you notice the difference in this pic. |
So does it mean I'm crazy that I see the blue as above the red and that it appears to move while the red is completely stationary?
And also, yes I can see it the same way in the signature as well.
