The proof that you should never believe your eyes

Your peripheral vision is part of your overall field of vision, which is about 190 degrees. However, it is far from perfect, and sometimes it makes us see things that do not really exist. We found an original way to prove it.
Just look at the cross in the middle of the picture below, without looking away. You will find that your peripheral vision transforms ordinary faces in "monsters".

The faces become deformed, is not it? And the more we look at the cross in the center of the image, the more the distortion is important. Why does this happen? We will explain everything step by step.
In our eyes, there is a part of the retina called the macula lutea or yellow spot. This area contains the largest concentration of cones, allowing us to see a region more clearly. It is on this area that we take the image of the point to which it directs the gaze.
In this case, the area is empty; there is only the dark with a white cross. The brain tries to take the information from other sources outside the zone - in this case, the pictures in rotation to the left and right. These sources are not very reliable, and the brain is trying to combine them into a single image. It also tries to analyze the photos in a short time, since the images are changing rapidly. The ability to discern faces is lost, and the brain combines different characteristics of different faces into a single whole. That's why we see "monsters"!
