Another cool illusion featured and explained by COGSCIdotNET is the Reverse Spokes Illusion. This particular effect was discovered by Anstis and Rogers, and it works in a way so that grey lines (or “spokes”) separating the pizza into slices, appear to be rotating clockwise. However, on a closer inspection you can clearly see that this is not the case!
What is happening here is that the grayish color-wave traverses the wheel in a counterclockwise direction, and the spokes occasionally get gobbled-up by the pizza slices. This occurs because two of the pizza slices are of the same color as the spokes!
You mean it looks like it’s moving around when the lights on/off it and really it’s not…. Oh, yeah – I see it when you say it like that! :)
this is what i called real and fantastic illusion
Now that’s awesome. Nice find.
Love this one. Great effect. Still amazed at how it tricks my mind into seeing it move!
Very simple, yet very powerful. Love it!
So cool I wish it was something that I could do!
cool
good illusion, but been around for ages!
weird, i dont get this?

I don’t see it.
Oh! I see it now!
Just looks like a big ol’ umbrella to me. Good thing. We’ve been getting a fair number of thunder storms lately. ;-)

very good.
1It spins faster when you look at a nearby white spot.
Cool illusion. Hurts your eyes BAD though
this is an animation its actually moving i copied to my pc and its like 7 pictures in one
Umm, yeah, we know it’s moving.
But the spokes aren’t.
That’s kind of the point.
I actually can’t believe you checked if it was moving!
