A FEW ILLUSIONS DESIGNED
TO IRRITATE AND/OR FASCINATE

If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot,
the dots will remain only one color,
pink

Stare at the black cross

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However, if you stare at the black ' + ' in the center of the picture,
the moving dot turns to
green .

Now, really concentrate on the black ' + ' in the center 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. 

If you lose your concentration on focusing on the black ' + '
(by tracking the movement of the
green dot), the pink dots will reappear.

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 that we don't always see what we think we see.
