Optical Illusion

[veni vidi vici]

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 centre, the moving dot turns to green.
Now, concentrate on the black " + " in the centre of the picture. After a short period, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only 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.

[lovethesea]

hmmm......mine never disapeared. I always see pink and green. BUT I am and always have been ambidextrous. My brain is wired strangely. I wonder if that has anything to do with it????

That is Awesome!
I have it as my background. It is tiled, so when you look at one + sign, EVERYTHING fades away (except the icons, lol) but all the pink dots and five other + signs fade away.
That is amazing.

Ummmm...What pink dot?

 

[michaeltx]

actually you dont have to look at the + sign to see it turn green I was looking at something at the bottom of the screen and it turned green. Thats a new illusion I havent seen it. I have a few on my computer I will try to find and post up.

Uhh... why is that "green" dot light purple to my eyes???????

 

[royal gang]

I was looking at it and ok... yes it turns green now, and instead of that it goes at a full 360 degrees dissapearing as the ball goes around, then when it gets to where they started dissapearing they pop back up.

if you stare at it long enough the pink dots should disappear...
here is a bigger dot version that seems to work faster...

Here's a cool optical illusion.
Is the girl dancing in the clockwise direction or counter-clockwise direction???

 

[autofreak44]

that looks clockwise to me

 

[1journeyman]

Definitely clockwise.
And why is she not wearing clothes?

Maybe she's wearing latex.
She's actually not spinning either direction. If you stare at the foot from the different sides of your monitor, your brain will think she's spinning in different directions.
