Take a good look at this 'Marilyn Einstein' optical Illusion..who do you see?

This classic optical illusion was created several years ago by neuroscientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. 

In a recent video, AsapScience highlighted the process behind the trick, which can also be seen in a still image by anyone if they move closer and then farther away from the screen.

‘Depending on how well you’re able to focus or pick up contrast your eye will only pick out details,’ the video explains.

‘Up close, we’re generally able to pick up fine details like Einstein’s moustache and wrinkles.

‘But as the distance increases, or if your vision is poor and creates a more blurred image in the first place, your ability to pick up details fades away.

‘Instead you only see general features, like the shape of mouth, nose and hair, and are left seeing Marilyn Monroe. ‘

The MIT team, led by Dr Aude Oliva, has spent over a decade creating hybrid optical illusions that show how images can be hidden with textures, words and other objects.

'Marilyn Einstein' was created by superimposing a blurry picture of Marilyn Monroe over a picture of Albert Einstein drawn in fine lines.
