Shimmering Optical Illusion

21 comments

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 :)

    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

    in firefox, while scrolling with the keyboard (not mousewheel), two circular wavelike shapes formed to the left and right of center.

    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).
