In a land away from reality, it is these illusions that keep us interested and glued to the world of internet. We witness trends being set and then even before we know it, we follow them too.

The recent one that is doing rounds in the internet is this illusion that if you stare it for more than a minute, it will disappear right in front of your eyes.

The person who posted it first on the social media of Rediff, shared the photo with the directive that “This picture will fade away if you stare at it (may take a minute)”. Soon, the picture had gone viral with hundreds of people trying it out, and posting their experiences.

Though it was posted around a week ago, given the Internet’s obsession with such challenges that would give people an excuse not to work in pursuit of sharpening their eyesight or brain power, the popularity of the image has not faded. Even if the image has.

Now, its time for you to give it a try.

All you have to do is focus at the centre of the picture and stare at it for about a minute. Eventually, the colours around your point of focus should fade to white.

According to the Illusions Index, this phenomenon is called the Troxler effect, an optical illusion affecting visual perception. When one fixates on a particular point for even a short period of time, an unchanging stimulus away from the fixation point will fade away and disappear.
