00:04 Believers, earlier we were moving our bodies.

00:08 Now, we will exercise our brains here in the Brain Bender.

00:13 Girls, I Believers, you saw this artwork in front of us.

00:18 How many colors can you see?

00:20 Ummm...

00:25 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

00:30 Orange, yellow, red, purple, blue, light blue.

00:38 So, where's the light?

00:40 Light blue and dark blue.

00:43 Let's find out.

00:45 The truth is, we only have 5 colors there.

00:50 Huh? How does that happen? It's clearly 6.

00:54 Am I being chased?

00:55 So, we have, you said, orange, red, yellow, purple, light blue, dark blue.

01:09 But actually, it's just 5 because the blue is the same blue.

01:15 There's no light and dark there.

01:17 Oh, yes, how does that happen?

01:20 It's just a shade. It's actually an optical illusion.

01:25 Chromosteriopsis is what we called optical illusion earlier.

01:30 This happens when certain colors are placed side by side.

01:33 Each color has a wavelength that stimulates different areas in our eyes.

01:38 Because orange and blue lines are placed side by side,

01:41 and other colors are surrounded, like red, yellow, and violet,

01:45 it's hard for our eyes to focus.

01:48 That's why we think blue is blue-green or light blue.

01:51 I believe.

01:53 Thank you.
