Optical illusion, as good as magic ✨💫

Cover one side with your palm and it stops moving.

Argh my eyes!!!...make it stop, make it stop ! 😄

It still moves with the left side blocked. Alternating palms, the right moves but much slower. 🤦‍♂️
@SethGreene531 😄It doesn't stop? Hhmmm...🤔 apparently some people can have different reactions to it . That's interesting ☺️
@LilMissAnonyMOUSE Very cool effect!!

Yep.😄
It startled me a bit, but then I'm prone to that sorta thing with illusion images.
@SethGreene531 Just like you, for me it moves too. I'm seeing from other comments that others don't see it move at all! So far we have 9 yes that they see it moving (including me) and 3 no, they don't see it moving ☺️
@LilMissAnonyMOUSE Interesting, I wonder if it's a difference in how our brain's are working, or eyesight. 🤔
Cool!!

There's a store here called Mind Games. They had a silver disc with that pattern on it.
You spun the disc and stared at it 2-3 minutes while the pattern squirmed; then looked at the walls.
Everything was moving and flowing, much like your picture -- very trippy 😄

Some trivia -- if I'm at a club or a place with black light, my eyes see the room slowly fill with a brown fog.
No one else sees it!
@SethGreene531 Yes , I've been reading about it and apparently people react differently, some say it's how some react to particularly shaped images, to light, and some say it depends one's visual cortex🤷‍♀️

I'm impressed with the creators of these optical illusions though, certainly sciences like math and psychology are involved in creating them.

Black light creating an illusion of a brown fog? Oh wow. My brother and his friends had a rock bar for years and I only recall when being there that all things white shone so bright , even the whites of the eyes and teeth lol!
@LilMissAnonyMOUSE That's so fascinating. How the brain communicates with different memory and processing centers, synthesizing everything into a complete picture.

Yes, you're right. The creators would need to understand fundamentals like psychology/ brain physiology, and then mathematics to create the correct geometric shapes to trigger it.
Very astute observation!

The brown fog is always a little alarming. Starts way up at the ceiling and starts to thicken, descending like smoke in a burning building. Things get like wearing sunglasses inside. The cells in my eye might be overly sensitive or something.

Like you said, they only used to turn bright colors and anything white, blazing neon. When I was young that's all I saw. Only since mid 20's the brown fog started.

There's a neurological dysfunction called: Akinetopsia (motion blindness) , where the affected brain can't see objects moving, including traffic.

You'd like an American fiction series called 'Perception' with Eric Eric McCormack. He's a neurology Proff and it's full of all this kind of stuff.

@SethGreene531 That and so many things our brains do that we still do not know about. One day we will know the full potential of our brains and it will be surprising for sure.

"The cells in my eye might be overly sensitive or something." That may be the reason why.

Yes, black light does that effect, it's awesome, not sure though if it's safe to be exposed to it too much.

Akinetopsia (motion blindness), yeah, that's not good.

i just saw the link, thank you for sharing it with me. I don't think it ever showed here in Europe.Yes, it's a series I would have liked to have watched.☺️
@LilMissAnonyMOUSE One day we will. It is said we use only 10% of our capacity, so who knows!

Agreed, long exposure is not recommended.

It was likely shown only in the U.S. The dailymotion link has full episodes.
A good tv program; you're welcome -- enjoy!
@SethGreene531 ☺️👍thank you!
