Spinning Spiral Circle
Category: Moving Images | Added: May 26, 2009

This image is completely stationary however when you look at it the circles appear to be moving, especially if you move your eyes across it. The circle in the center appears to be moving clockwise and the large circle on the outside appears to moving counter clockwise.

The black and white bands create the illusion of shadow, or depth, as your brain interprets it. The depth is impossible because the shadowed object, in this case, the bright colors, form a circle. Your brain tries to explain the apparent depth of a flat circle by assuming it's moving.

I just watched a hypnosis video on youtube. I was wide awake and full of bursts of energy and after watching it, i felt like i could fall over any minute. I slept for 19 hours straight after being up for 5 hours and after i couldn't see anything black, white or really bright colors (Hot pink, light blue,etc). Watched a energy burst video and couldnt sleep for 2 days. I guess those do work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49XIlz5lCT0&feature=related energy burst!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPjhvLO8OXo&feature=related real hypnosis
