Illusion









Circle Optical Illusion

Will and Guy love 'playing' mind games with these circles.  Take the time to sit back and let the primeval parts of your brain take over.

I find it difficult to get my head around these 4 perfectly round circles.

This reminds Will and Guy of the London Eye.  It's truly mesmerising the way that the blobs or pin-heads seem to rotate clockwise.  While our brain tells us they are still, our eyes are telling us that there is a circular motion.

Swirl Illusion


Instruction
Look at the centre of one of the circles.  The circle that you concentrate on stops, but the rest keep spinning -wierd.
By the way, the above image is not animated.
They are perfectly still.

Here is Another Swirl Illusion


How is it that those two circles appear to rotate in opposite directions?
