So after baffling everyone with the audiotary illusions video, ASAPScience is back to confuse us all once again - with a video challenging our eyesight and perception.

The rest of this article is behind a paywall. Please sign in or subscribe to access the full content.

The illusion is creating by combining images with low spatial frequency (Marilyn) and high spatial frequency (Albert), the variable being how well your eyes can focus or pick up contrast.

So what do you see, Marilyn Monroe or Albert Einstein?

 

 

If you're interested in illusions, check out the explanation for that dress (which was white and gold!! editor's note: it was BLUE Danielle! Blue!!), or find out if your vision can effect what you hear.
