Default Another one :)




If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, you will only see one color, pink.
If you stare at the black + in the center, the moving dot turns to green.
Now, concentrate on the black + in the center of the picture. After a short period of time,
all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see a green dot rotating if you're lucky!
It's amazing how our brain works. There really is no green dot, and the pink ones really don't disappear.
This should be proof enough, we don't always see what we think we see.

Yes it does do all that, and if you look away, you see a circle of green dots for a short while.

There's a clue as to what's happening - obviously the green dot is running over the pink one but your brain is struggling to process the peripheral vision.

Or some other such ****e

Not really an illusion - but do you see what you see?
