Also, if you stare at it long enough, the “dot” appears to erase the blue dots when it completes one turn, then places them back again on the next turn, and the pattern continues.

Very cool!!!
I was reading an article that said you perceive the things you see only as long as your eyes move. Your eyes make many many microscopic movements, but still–that’s why staring makes things disappear, like the blue dots in this one. Try looking around constantly and focusing on different things; the illusion no longer works. Actually I think the illusion is successful if you stare at ANY part of the computer screen.

No, I don’t think the bluriness plays any part.

Love it.. The blue dots are supposed to vanish as the yellow dot flashes around the circle. Stare, without blinking, for as long as you can at the black dot in the center. Stare hard. Don’t allow your eyes to wander or follow the flashing dot. They will disappear. If, like some of the viewers have mentioned, you see other colors forming, then I would seek immediate medical care. lol

Good Luck Everyone…

Neat! Colour satuation of the cones ( colour receptors in the eye)gets saturated) so it is less responsive and an complimentary colour occurs ( yellow) I think if the dots were purple the complement would be a green dot ( think I saw that a while ago) If you move your head around while view it reduces the saturation ( light hits a different set of cones and no saturation) and no colour change.
