the circles change direction for me... but i may just be going crazy :)

I have a headache now...
good picture...

nice, really, this is awesome!

This is awesome man... It makes me go crazy!!

Cool image, but the printer raster disturbs the illusion somewhat. Would work better if some denoising filter were applied to it.

nice one =)
i could only get them to go round slowly though

love your widget by the way =)

cool site! been enjoying the illusions for a while now but what can be more fun is reading everyone comments and the race to be 1st! by the way.....looks like i am!!!

COOOOOOL I like so much this kind of illusions

GENIAL Me gustan mucho este tipo de ilusiones.

I always loved this one. It is so amazing how the mind works.

not bad, pretty intense for a Friday morning.
First Post?

not desperately artistic, but a nice illusion anyhow.

Nice illusion. I've seen a lot of these before. If I remember correctly, the reason for the "spinning effect" is caused by the minute adjustments our eyes make. These adjustments are always occuring, and are very small; that added to the high contrast of the black and white lines makes what is next to them appear to be spinning or shifting back and forth - depending on the shape and setup.

that doesn't work for me... hmmm... first comment!! yay!!

Funny... i cant see anything move how long i ever look at it... been 30 minutes now..

You are right. The dark circles seem to rotate in the same direction. But, if you blink, they then seem to go in the opposite direction.

wow! that's so cool! I love illusions like that.

Just something I noticed: The rings will "spin" clockwise if you are right-eye dominant and spin counter-clockwise if you are left-eye dominant.

The magical wonders of the black line! Great illusion, i think my head DID explode!

I couldnt see the spins, but after staring at it long enough, I couldn't read or see anything! My vision blurred, and, although it lasted only a few seconds, I DID think my brain would explode!

the blue rings spin when i look at it, its really crazy. it kinda hurts my eyes though, but still cool.

No you're not crazy (or else we both are)--the circles change direction for me too--AND go quickly

Oh my gosh. #1 had posted previously that they had the circles change in direction as they were rotating. Well, that's the same thing for me.

This spining circles is really cool! tnow that is a great illusion!

MY HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol:
cool!!!

woah, im getting dizzy, the dark blue and the green ring were spinning right while the blue was spinning left

I couldn't get the circles to spin, but I saw little clown faces in red near the yellow spot.

I see the circles change direction every two seconds or so, even if I don't blink! Cool illusion!

my eyes just blur out until i can't see the yellow circle then when i refucus the circles are stationary again.

scroll up and down FAST

IT WORKS FOR ME IT FUST GETS SCARY AFTER A WHILE

i get a headache 2 - same as DianaPotter! but yeh its really kl! clever.

its seems to me that the green and dark blue circles go left, whereas the blue one goes right! maybe thats just me thou!! lol

cool

If u scroll up nd down nd look at the pic, it sorta looks like da black nd white lines are turnig different ways nd r goin 2 hit eachoda! cool, but I dnt see da 1 it sez...

if you scroll up and down while looking at the yellow dot it seems like the blck and white lines are merging together

this is idiotic
