This is a newly discovered optical illusion.

This is a very odd effect. If you glance at the images, the girls faces look perfectly normal, it is only when you look at the cross in the middle do they get wierd. One eye, or two eyes, covering one picture too, does not matter. As long as your visual focus is on the cross (or away from the face, at image eye level, and the flash rate is close, the images distort.
Must be some internal eye brain interface which cannot keep up with the images..
I wonder if ANYONE exists who can keep the images straight (normal and beautiful). If so, they should do some studies of how that persons visual data is differennt than the general population. Some cool science and knowledge could come from this accidental discovery.

That's reasonably freaky.  Thank you for sharing that one.
