I got back from Stockholm Monday night, sick, tired and with exploded eardrums but I had a wonderful time none the less visiting Martin, who I met at Folsom Berlin this year. 🖤 Here's some pictures from when we went to the Paradox Museum.
We also went to the ABBA museum. 😅
I also had my first sauna/ice bath. Very relaxing!
But most importantly, we got to be together.

“Illusions are fun, but they are also a gateway to perception,” says Hyeyoung Shin, assistant professor of neuroscience at Seoul National Universitym first author of a new study in Nature Neuroscience that identified a specific population of neurons in #visualcortex—dubbed IC-encoders—and shows a direct role in representing a visual illusion.

A seemingly double-leaf window reveals the treetops of the edge of a mixed forest, lit by the low morning sun. Two conifers of different sizes are flanked by beeches clad in gold and orange. Light gray lichens have taken root on sturdy side branches. Green foliage is also visible. A patch of white-grey sky can be seen.

In reality, the window is only a single-leaf window, opened just enough for its reflection to appear as part of a second leaf.

The bottom edge of the picture looks as if expensive black velvet has been draped in waves beneath the window, but it's a down sleeping bag with a black polyester outer layer. I needed it to fix the window perpendicular to the frame. The window frame is white and not glossy black! Thanks to an exposure time of 1/200 s and an aperture of 1/16, everything appears dark except for the sunny forest. Therefore, the window is framed by darkness."

I made a mistake and shared the wrong photo: I'm sorry! #AutumnVibes #treePeople #Forest #GoldenOctober #trees Fascinating #physics: #opticalIllusion, #reflections: with #ALText. Use up to 8.3 k characters! We're #strongerTogether, and #inclusion is #fairness :) #sunrise The frame is white, btw.

There is no purple. Really, the drawing has only shades from gray to green, with the "purple pill" being actually grayish, yet you're likely perceiving it as purple. If purple isn't real, what else isn't? (and interestingly enough, this optical illusion is a very human thing to both draw and perceive, no algorithm can perceive the non-existent purple color)
