Stare At The Dot. Which Way Do The Red Stripes Spin?

By on June 6, 2006, with 98 Comments

Here’s one of classic examples how our brain can easily be deceived. When you first look at the image below, red stripes seem to move in one direction only. Try focusing on the central dot… See how the stripes started moving in the opposite direction? You can repeat this process as many times you want, it works all the time! Enjoy!

    Also, for me, the white turns to like an aqua blue color.
    AND
    It changes directions depending which side of the picture you look at. xD

    There is no spinning.

    They flash between red and white without an illusion of movement.

    If you watch the dot from the left side of the monitor it spins clockwise and if you look from the right side of your monitor the it spins anti clockwise
