Something is not right with this image of Dennis Brain.

Yes, it is upside down but if you turn your head around to look at it a peculiar phenomena will jump out at you.

The brain is particularly adept at identifying faces, but because we are not accustomed to seeing faces upside-down, the brain can be fooled. It loses it ability to gauge relationships.

Read what you will into this in terms of studying music, but I imagine that there might be some correlations, at least in the abstract.

Perception is not always reality…spooky!

UPDATE: Inverting the mouth in addition to the eyes makes it even stranger.

Head for the hills! The zombies are coming!!
