Optical Illusion

[Elf Mommy]

Figure this one out. If your brain works normally this is neat. This is another example of an amazing illusion!!! The last sentence is so true. If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, The dots will remain only one color, pink.

However if you stare at the black '+' in the center, the moving dot turns to green. Now, concentrate on the black '+ ' in the center of the picture. After a short period, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will see only a single green dot rotating. It's amazing how our brain works. There really is no green dot. And the pink ones really don't disappear. This should be proof enough; we don't always see what we think we see?

Isn't that light green opposite of pink? I know red & green are opposites. Maybe that's why the eye sees them that way? I used to have a lot of optical illusions somewhere... I will see if I can find the files! :lookaround

Stare at the center of the circle. You should start to see pulsing movements from the inside outward. If you don't, get your eyes checked!



This one is made up of completely straight lines, but it looks like it is bulging out in the middle. You can hold a ruler up to the lines. They are straight!

I had to do a bunch of these and write little papers on them for a Psychology class. I still don't get what they have to do with psych! Oh, well. They keep me cross-eyed and entertained!

Here's a trippy one! Stare at the center for a few seconds, then move your head closer to the screen, then farther away.
