'''Stare at the Dot!''' is a video created by Richard Wiseman, a renowned psychologist, for his ''Quirkology'' channel on [[YouTube]].  


The video starts with a footage of a man talking about the optical illusions like the title implies, where it tells the player to look at his nose, but there is nothing until after he put some greenscreen on his nose, now we see a picture of Thomas the train's face alongside mentioning a text informing the user to concentrate on the dot, However, shortly after the guy says "Don't worry, there will be no screams or scary sounds", a close-up picture of a dog which gradually adjust temperature colors within 5 seconds, accompanied by a loud scream.  
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.
 
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.
