Full transcript of The Caputo Effect: The Mirror Glitch
Have you ever stared into a mirror in a dimly lit room? Psychologists warn you should never do it for more than ten minutes. It triggers a bizarre neurological glitch known as the Caputo Effect. At first, everything seems normal. But around the five-minute mark, your reflection begins to change. Your facial features start to melt and warp. Your eyes might turn black, or your jaw might stretch. This isn't paranormal. It's a combination of Troxler fading and sensory deprivation. But the brain hates empty space. It scrambles to fill in the missing pieces with whatever it can imagine. So if you see a demon in the glass... ...remember, it's just a reflection of your own mind.
