  • Mind Bending!


    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.

    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.

    Interesting, the dots disapear is you relax but if you the focus on the picture they reappear. This is all to do with fatigue.

      Fascinating, if I stare long enough I can almost see a link!

      But, I'll assume it came from: http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/

            I actually had to WORK to make the dots disappear. Guess my eyes aren't as easily blind-spotted as most. But the green thing is pretty frunky.

                Seriously, what's the difference when you focus on a pink dot?

                    Again, no luck here. I think I have peripheral stiffening or something. LOL!

                      I had trouble too.
                      But then I got it to work.
                      Pretty neet.
                      The secret is to hold your eyes really, really still.
                      If you move them even a tiny amount the dots will move to a new, unsaturated part of your retina and come back into view.
                      I had more luck right at first than after 10 or so seconds of trying.
