Michael A. Cohen of Amherst College/MIT created “The Changing Room Illusion” to illustrate how we don’t notice changes if they are gradual enough. Yeah, like watching kids grow up.

Sugihara hasn’t retired; one of his illusions made the top ten. You can see all the top ten finalists for the 2021 competition at the contest site. -via Gizmodo
