Seerose 4,092 Report post Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) * Look at the circles around the red dot. Which way do the circles move, clockwise or counterclockwise? (Answer: counterclockwise.) Now look at the circles around the yellow dot. Are they moving clockwise or counterclockwise? (Answer: also counterclockwise.)

Seerose 4,092 Report post Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) *Freezing Rotation Animation (Animated gif below may take a while to load, so please be patient until it full loads.) If you observe the rotation of the central text label below, do you see it turning smoothly all the time? Does it seem to “freeze” from time to time? If you manage to cover or isolate the surround (swaying dots), you can easily see that the text is really turning continuously! One possible explanation of this phenomena states that “assuming a stable surround, our visual system probably uses the surround as a reference to measure motion of the included objects”.

MadJik 963 Report post Posted August 18, 2017 Previous with "moving" colors Ten years ago: My DeviantArt Optical confusion for this illusion made with Paint.Net You could feel the wheel is rotating. The background grid is strictly made with straight lines but you could think there is a curvature near the center: no no! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As you can see on the 4-piece puzzle in A, there are 8 eggs... Now if we permute the triangular pieces an egg disappears along with portion of the puzzle (see B)! Well, this is a kind of 'vanishing area paradox'... Edited April 18, 2018 by Seerose 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Use any color picker, graphic program or simply cover the remainder with your hand to see for yourself. *BrokenMagic If you concentrate on one of the lobster's eyes, after some time (10-15 seconds) it will seem that the broken piece of the plate rejoins the rest. This amusing effect occurs because our brain tends to 'iron' out broken our saw lines. Edited April 18, 2018 by Seerose 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
