There's no dress this time - just a simple black-and-white banana.

But this optical illusion uses what's called the Fechner effect to convince your brain that it's seeing colours where there are none.

Although the banana in the clip flashes black and white, after a while of watching you should be able to see yellow. The effect is only temporary.

The video is best watched in low light and with the resolution cranked up - although we'd recommend avoiding it if you suffer from epilepsy.

Called "Zebra Rainbow", the clip is work of artist Kenneth Morehouse, and echoes the more famous Benham's Top - a black and white spinning top that also causes some people to see colour.

"With Fechner colour and Benham’s top the colors always seem fleeting, in an ephemeral way, never really resting in one place," Morehouse told the Mail Online.

"My video uses a very specific structure of frames, in specific rhythms to try to hold on to one colour.

"I was interested in how the viewer starts to question weather the colour is a physiological response to the structure of the video or if a mental projection of colour is occurring."

Many scientists have debated the existence of colour and optical illusions like this one continue to demonstrate how different people experience it.
