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, 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.

  13. ahmed says:

    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.

  14. wow.... says:

    um…. I saw a roulette wheel. And it was spinning.

  15. Pandas says:

    it was spinning?

  16. killer bees says:

    i agree with ahmed it was cooler on the screen when i was just staring at it

  18. want 2 know says:

    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).

  21. Vlasdorian says:

    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 :)

  22. NotTellingYou says:

    Accually it looks kind of cool if you move your haed back from the screen: it looks like it moves or changes sizes.

  23. BillyB says:

    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.

  24. Merlijn says:

    Also, before you stared at it, if you move your head closer to the screen, it will grow.

  25. no likey name says:

  35. Shru says:

  36. Cal says:

  38. Cornelius says:

    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!
