Your brain makes imaginary monsters when you stare into a mirror.
There is an optical illusion known as the ‘Troxler Effect’. It has been found by psychologists that people experience optical illusions of deformation of their faces after staring at oneself for 10 minutes in the mirror. Troxler Effect fades out features that an individual isn’t staring at or in other words, not focusing on.
This effect wanders over the entire face, distorting it massively. It does not stay in one place. There have been many participants in this experiment. Sixty six percent reported huge deformation of their faces. Eighteen percent reported that their faces changed to their parents face with traits changed. Twenty eight percent reported that their face had changed to an unknown person. While 48% also reported that their face had changed to monstrous beings.
