With a new video filter, researchers are able to see humans' pulses through their skin , and amplify tiny movements into easily visible ones. Warning: creepy GIFs ahead.
Researchers at MIT have developed a process called "Eulerian Video Magnification," which, in their words, "reveals subtle changes in the word."
Basically, the software it takes small movements in a video that are invisible to the human eye — the subtle color change caused by blood pumping through someone's face, or the slight pulsing of an artery under his skin — and amplifies them until they're plainly visible. This is basically like having a superpower:
