Shimmering Optical Illusion
May 11, 2006 by Vurdlak
Does this object below seem to move? Does it make you nervous? I forgot the complete explanation of this illusion, but I remember it has something to do with few of your brain areas beeing too near to eachother. It makes them falsely interpret perceived information.. or something... Try to stare at this for a minute... it will drive you crazy, CRAZY I tell ya!!!

I get a cool effect when i look at the picture and scroll up and down. Not sure if it's a result of my browser or my brain :)
Well it shimmered and moved in a few seconds and it is a nice illusion - and like you - I also dont know why - But you have a wonderful site and thanks
vortex swalow me now.
it's pretty creepy when you minimize your browser so you can drag it all across your screen. i also noticed it did something weird when i scrolled up and down and decided to move it all around.
its not the browser, its your mind!
i cant even explain what happens... like two little bulges out of the middle
OOh, i didnt notice it moving when i stared at it, but stare at it and then look at a blank wall...i saw a really fast moving spiral thingee....can ya see it?
in firefox, while scrolling with the keyboard (not mousewheel), two circular wavelike shapes formed to the left and right of center.
Could maybe even be an afterimage
I think it spins from the inside out.
when ya scroll up and down fast it looks like a little bug flapping its wings in the middle...but thats just me
whoa! When i stared at this for like 20 seconds it started like flapping. 10 more seconds it practiclaly jumped from the screen!!!!!
Thanks!
I always wanted rainbow eyes!
wow. this is amazing if you try it as an afterimage.
Super! Very nice!
OH MY GAWD!
IT REALLY DOES MOVE!!
to those peeps, STARE AT THE CREEPY HOLE .
STARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THEN IT WILL MOVE..
Like its trying to get out of the screen...
when i stared at the middle it seemed to grow.....
yah the afterimage is kool.............puts me in that happy place with the killer rabbits, but doesnt try to get out of the screen....*sighs* yum.......blood......
I stared at it for a half minute and some of it went backwards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haha i went cross eyed hahahahaha fun
i can actually still see it if i blink
It's coming to get you!! Or Freddy Krueger might jump out of the hole.. odd.. but it's evil!!
This is what I feel it might be,
Stare at this image for 30 seconds, and then look at a white screen. I felt seeing a spinning image. (Might be because I have watched too many illusions just now, but I feel this might be the illusion here).
i think its slowly makeing me go insane..........
