Visual Effect Brain Teaser

This is a really weird visual effect — another optical effect revealing how strangely our eyes and brain are wired sometimes.Just staring at it normally I could quickly see the “gray” circle become green. I got the others to disappear pretty easily the first time I stared at the center long enough, but seemed to lose focus after that, making it a lot harder for the pink circles to disappear. Hope you guys enjoy it.

One Response to “Visual Effect Brain Teaser”

Dr. Dubin once mentioned that if he were staring straight ahead, somebody could walk in, being very quiet, and sit down right next to him, and if his brain never saw any motion (so, if the person was moving very slowly) out of the corner of his eye he’d “see” the seat next to him as empty.
