[OT] Optical illusion
Wow!
If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, you will only see one color, pink. 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 of time, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see a green dot rotating if you're lucky! 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. http://tinypic.com/i20sd0.gif Hugs, CatNipped |

I haven't seen an optical illusion like this before - probably because it doesn't translate well to a printed book! Unlike most other illusions I've seen, this doesn't seem to depend on the properties of the brain, but the properties of the cone cells in your eyes. The pink circles fatigue your red cones, leaving a green afterimage. So the illusion is dependent not so much on where you look, but on whether you hold your gaze steady or not. |

Don't say those things! I've been dealing with a sinus condition all day, I'm trying to get through Usenet without too much nausea, and you want me to do what?! I'm cringing just reading the description, and I'm not even tempted to go find out what that thing looks like. shudder (But thanks for the pointer anyway. rueful grin) -- Wayne M (indulged by Will and Heidi) |
