Full scientific explanation of The Dress, BLACK BLUE WHITE GOLD? - Neuroscience student
A scientific explanation of why people perceive the colours of Thedress differently. I'm in my third year of neuroscience at university and I thought I would try to explain my understanding of why this optical illusion exists, and why we perceive the colours differently.
The science behind the argument, how our eyes see colours differently and why we're having such trouble differentiating between the black and blue or white and gold dress colours.
