'''Stare at the dot!''' is a video uploaded by psychologist [[wikipedia:Richard Wiseman|Richard Wiseman]] for his [https://www.youtube.com/@Quirkology Quirkology] channel on YouTube.  
'''Stare at the Dot!''' is a video created by Richard Wiseman, a renowned psychologist, for his ''Quirkology'' channel on [[YouTube]].  


The video shows an inverted effect of Richard Wiseman instructing the viewer to look at his nose, after which a blue dot appears on his nose. However, right after saying the line: "Don't worry, there will be no screams or scary sounds," the video switches back to a grayscale effect. this version does not have a screamer, the original version is around 1 minute long.
The video features an intriguing inverted effect where Wiseman instructs the viewer to focus on his nose, and a blue dot suddenly appears on it. The video then switches to a grayscale effect. The idea is that a positive color [[wikipedia:afterimage|afterimage]] will overlap with the black and white part of the video, making it look like it’s in color.


The screamer version was titled "stare at the dot on his nose", and uploaded on March 2, 2018, by Jacob laggard, with a picture of Thomas' O face (actually a screencap of Thomas' shocked face from the ''[[wikipedia:Thomas and Friends|Thomas and Friends]]'' episode "Thomas Goes Fishing".) on his nose. However, after 30 seconds, a picture of a dog then appears, along with a loud scream, followed by special effects.
In the original, Wiseman actually reassures the audience that there will be no [[Screamer|screamers]], and there aren’t. However, a modified version titled "Stare at the Dot on His Nose" was uploaded by Jacob Laggard in 2018, which ''does'' contain a screamer. The thumbnail features a screencap of Thomas' shocked face from the popular children's show ''''[[wikipedia:Thomas and Friends|Thomas and Friends]]'''' on Wiseman's nose. After 30 seconds, a picture of a dog appears, followed by a loud scream and special effects.
