This one’s neat! Here’s what I want you to do: simply stare at the black cross in the center of this picture for 30 seconds or more. Then quickly look at some white surface like pice of paper, your wall or something else. Try blinking while starring and you’ll get even stronger effect! What did you see?

wow… maybe the best one yet!
Very Cool, the middle spins around. Awesome :)
sunflower?
if i did it right then its cool if not i dont get ir
nothing much….. the same thing in colour i think
but while staring at it it looked pretty cool: kinda 3D
Vanna White??
wow, you don’t even have to look at paper, you can just close your eyes, it looks kind of like an eye burned into my vision.
Wow – cool.
When I looked at the wall, I got a slightly pulsing after-image.
But – when looking at the image on my monitor – if I looked at it obliquely, or via peripheal vision – the cross in the center would pulse.
Thanks, by the way, for one of my favorite sites on the Web – and a place I visit to de-stress.

A sunflower….
I don’t get it
I see a shadow-ish image of the same shape … what should I see?
Wicked
i think i c a japanese flag
i got nothing
when i was staring at it on the screen, it appeared to be fluctuating in diameter. that’s cooler than when i saw the negative against my white wall.
um…. I saw a roulette wheel. And it was spinning.
it was spinning?
i agree with ahmed it was cooler on the screen when i was just staring at it
I saw the face of satan instructing me to eradicate his enemies systematically. weird.
wow! cool!but……………how does it work?
I interpreted it as a sunflower. “After Image” illusions are my favorite. Cheers!

Weird. The “flower” itself in the image doesn’t spin, but in the background I could see a very faint thin reddish-purplish spiral forming. And once I switched to a white background, I saw the negative for a split second, followed again by an image of a spiral or little concentric circles (again, very faint).
I saw a total of 3 things actually…
1. as I stared at the image, it seemed to turn into a tunnel or “worm hole” kind of. Very 3D-ish
2. when I looked at a white surface without blinking, the after image appeared to be a large circle (the outer edge of the original) with the inner part of te circle sorta spinning real fast.
3. when I blinked, the after image was made much stronger and it looked more like a sunflower (yellow reverse of the original patern).
this is the coolest one I’ve seen so far :)
Accually it looks kind of cool if you move your haed back from the screen: it looks like it moves or changes sizes.
It also looks like it’s ‘bending’ when you have it in the middle of your monitor and scroll up and down slightly. Pretty cool.
Also, before you stared at it, if you move your head closer to the screen, it will grow.
response guy, i posted replies on alot of these but they dont get on rrr
I saw it spinning at a very high rate of speed when I closed my eyes and concentrated.
i sawed a snowflake : – )
it spins very fast
its well buzzin :)
i saw the flag of japan
OMG! It is so scary i can see the scarlec pit off of star wars!!
Boring!!!!
i don’t get it. mabe im just 2 blonde.
I noticed that the white outer part disappeared when looked at long enough.
I looked at it, looked at a wall leaned my head back close my eyes and I saw Mona Lisa staring at me! Weird!
its following me everywhere i look !!! arrrrrgh get it away !
stare directly at the cross in the middle for a long time…. then look away anywhere….it follows you
that is soooo cool, i can still see the image while im typing this comment!!!!!!
It’s a wheel with magic spokes people! Well, the afterimage that is. It consists of appearing/disappearing spokes that give out a spinning illusion. Neato!
Holy crap I won’t do that again I feel so sick I almost barfed.
i just like staring at it!

try staring at the center then moving your head back and forth to produce a movement affect…’
