Some thought her limbs were splashed with white paint, and others saw very glossy, shiny legs. With the photo of the dress, the surrounding colors are so muddled that the brain isn't sure what to make of the dress itself. 'What happened was two of my close friends were actually getting married and the mother of the bride took a photo of the dress to send to her daughter,' she said.

The fact that some people see it differently shouldn't be any more surprising than the fact that some people are colorblind or the fact that our senses can be fooled by optical illusions. Incodema3D, an additive manufacturing services company specializing in the aerospace sector, announced two new projects recently, involving two different metal alloy powders. First, Incodema3D, which is headquartered in upstate...
Lambert wore her signature long blonde tresses down for the opening weekend concert, and styled them into elegant, loose waves. As for makeup, the Pistol Annies member added sparkly eyeshadow, bold eyeliner, sky-high lashes, highlighter across her cheekbones and a gorgeous glossy lip. Miranda Lambert just rocked a stunning, sparkly and fringy ensemble that paid homage to her Southern roots— and fans can’t get enough! The Grammy winner, 38, showed off her iconic style and svelte figure in a curve-hugging dress while on stage at her Velvet Rodeo Residency in Las Vegas last week.

Miss McNeill also went on to reveal why she posted the snap in the first place and said that the original shot came from Mrs Bleasdale herself who bought the dress in high-street retailer Roman Originals. This difference of color perception has been well-documented before, but “the dreaded dress” is certainly one of the most dramatic examples of the phenomenon, the researchers said.
There were also people, 11 percent of them, who described it as blue/brown and 2 percent saw something else. In the photo posted on Tumblr, the dress fills up most of the image, providing very little information about how the object is being lit. "The wide range of interpretations about how it's being illuminated leads to a wide range of interpretations about its intrinsic color," Williams said.

For the rest of us, the brain discounts the gold spectrum of the light, yielding a totally different perception of the dress as that of a blue and black dress. If you were alive and breathing this past week, surely you have heard about the internet and media sensation that a simple blue and black dress has become. For those of you living on another planet, late last week, a dress that was worn at a wedding by the mother of a bride, had become the topic of an all out debate.
The shade of squares A and B are identical, but our brains see them as light and dark. It makes assumptions about shading, and then corrects for the shadow effect, so that we correctly perceive the light squares as light, even when they are in shadow. The type of illusion is called color constancy. Our brains evolved to favor consistency over accuracy, in both memory and perception.
Tumblr blogger Caitlin posted a photograph of what is now known as #TheDress – a layered lace dress and jacket that was causing much distress among her friends. The distress spread rapidly across social media, with Taylor Swift admitting she was “confused and scared”. The dress is a similar color constancy illusion, but is also an ambiguous stimuli illusion. Ambiguous optical illusions are ones in which our brains are given conflicting information, or there are different ways to resolve the image that are equally valid. This remains one of my most popular posts, for the same reason this dress controversy has gone viral. Our brains can make different assumptions to “see” the girl spinning clockwise or counterclockwise.
Prof Westland said that the "strange" lighting in the picture had probably contributed to the confusion. "The surprising thing is that this doesn't happen more often. People think if they take a photo of something, people will see the same thing but of course that is not true." The debate was picked up by fashion bloggers, Buzzfeed, the Washington Post and US magazine Wired. The situation was even weirder for Weichel because her client, Hart,was just announced as the star of a new television serieson Thursday. After seeing the Facebook thread, McNeill decided to share the picture on a fan page she has on Tumblr dedicated to a woman named Sarah Weichel. Rubio on Sunday told CNN he would fight against the bill if it includes spending unrelated to the hurricane damages.
