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.

whoa! that is super weird! the green dot is like erasing the pink ones! AHHH!
WHOA!! It reminds me of Pac- Man when you look at it for a while and the pink dots disappear when the green “gobbles” them up. lol Pac- Man 4ever!!
WEIRD lol
This is stupid~~!! I’m serious its made to run that way. If it was just a picture and moving on its own because of our eye sight then if you copy the image and put it on paint the dots don’t run clockwise. Yes the dots disappear when you stare at the center but it doesn’t move like this.
once all pink dots have dissapeared, quickly go back with your head and you will the see green dots moving away from the centre
I see when you move your eyes around the screen near the illusion you see a green circle
Ow! Burns my eyes… My personal fave!
it’s fake people, just a .gif file. block all of the picture with your hands except one dot and you will see what I’m talking about.
Damn this illusion is soo popular. The bloody pink dots go and green ones come back. Its all about your eyes losing focus.
Oh god, i listen in Science… :S

If you have a mac, pull the pic onto your desktop then open it. Then if you scroll through the different slides to make this illusion, make the 4th slide it think you will see a greenish tint. So, could this possibly not be an illusion? But i love it, it is awesome.
To the people who call this one their fave, I am with. BEST ILLUSION EVAH!!!
Ahah i love this one!!!! :) One of my favourites i must say.
its that non human thing again lol it didnt work for me ;(
I’v seen one where it said the moving dot turns green!This one does too!!!0:)
If you think about it…
if u stare at a pink dot for a minute and look at a blank sheet of paper, it will be green.
Plus, all the pink dots fade away ’till you can’t see ‘em, as that classic dissapearing shade illusion.
Thus, when each pink dot dissapears u see the green left over, and the rest of the pink dots have dissapeared.
All that appears now is what looks like a moving green dot.
I’m smart ;D
it made my eyes water i watched it so long
..its simply animated!..swear!
COOL! it has two illusions here, when u stare at the black + u will se the pink dots disappear, and see a green one cincling around the +.
Another thing i noticed is that when u stare at the + but try to follow the moving dot for a couple of rounds, then blink with your eyes, you will see a full circle of GREEN dots :O
awesome illusion! keep up the good work
I’ve found it easier to close one eye and stare because i have contacts, lol. X3
i love this 1 ive seen it so many times but it never gets old

freakkkkkkkky
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet but if you screen capture the image and just stare at the black cross in the middle the green dot will not appear, however if you stare long enough the pink dots will still disappear into the gray background. KOOL !
serenekaos is right. i looked at my wall after staring at this and saw a bunch of green dots around a white cross.
OMG! it’s sooooo weird…but cool ;)
i love this website :)
If you blink during it, you will see a circle of green dots! try it out!
Well actually watch it until the pink dots disappear, then blink and turn your head
itz coz first itz goin fast den it aint wen u look @ da dot
Do they disappear because of the blurry state of the dots?
cooolll!!!! d=-D
Amazing. I’ve never seen it before.
Its good, but the reason is very clear, that’s because humans eyes tries to balance the colors by combining the opposite color to the color you stare at, for example when you stare at a white lamp a black dot appears in your sight (when you look around) if you stare at a pink color the opposite color (green) appears in your sight, it’s easy to try.
If you stare at it long enough, the purple dots appear to completely vanish. (I’d give a long scientific explanation for this, but I don’t feel like it.)
