Optical Illusions

A sample optical illusion found in the 'Optical Illusions' category. Concentrate on the whitespace and see the circles slowly rotate. This image is not animated digitally, but by how your retina processes the peripheral data. You will therefore notice that if you focus on a circle itself, it will appear not to move!

Enjoy!

The Rotating Snake Optical Illusion

Inanimate circles move because of the brain failing to process certain key details in the image, creating the illusion. Image credited to Akiyoshi Kitaoka.
