Re: Related Illusion

I tested the illusion site also. I got the rotating green, and all the pink disappeared. I even refocussed onto an edge and was able to see a circle of green dots as well as the pink at the same time. Then I tried moving very close to my monitor, with my nose only a few inches from the screen, and focussing just on the + in the center. All of the dots except the one rotating green disappeared, and i actually saw a grey colored box. I actually repeated this three times, just to be sure. There really was a grey box. Very cool stuff.
Thanks for the link, oh master of news articles!

Re: Related Illusion

Here's another link that I enjoyed for hours. It has the same types of visual illusions on it as the above link, but it also adds explanations. Very fun stuff.
