10 Optical Illusions That are Going to Mess With Your Brain

Optical Illusions

If you like what you see above then you’ll love this post.  If you don’t then I highly suggest you not click on the “continue reading ” link.  Our brains tend to love to play tricks on us when the occasion calls for it.   So with the right colors, shapes, and patterns sometimes we’re tricked into seeing things that we really don’t see.

For the record, I’m a huge fan of optical illusions.   Personally, I don’t really care to learn why a clearly still image appears to be moving.  However I definitely find it interesting.

So if you’re up for the eye pain, check out 10 amazing optical illusions after the jump

 Why these circles rotate I have no clue

    Nothing beats the checkerboard illusion. This one will make you dissect the image to prove it to yourself.

    Squares A and B are identical in color. Yes, they really are.

    Folks, this was way cool, but even cooler will be voting for the GOP ticket in 2012 and stopping our Kenyan born muslim “president” from enacting anymore of his communist policies. Vote for Jeb Bush and Lez Cheney to bring back American values to the White House! We all know that we need more Tax Cuts for the Wealthy - NOW!

    @ Jeb Bush

    Probably the greatest comment ever, as I really can’t tell which side you’re on.

    I still can’t see the boat… Will keep looking…

  11. Sty1eron 25 Jan 2010 at 5:05 pm

    How do you see the boat in the last picture? I can’t see it.

    This is great stuff! I’ve sent copies to all my friends.

    The one with pink dots and the cross in the middle - it’s actually a gif - looks like you just had one frame of it.

    is the correct complete one - if you watch it for a few seconds they dots start to disappear

    These are visual illusions not optical illusions. The illusion is created at the level of the visual cortex and has nothing to do with optics.

    These are visual illusions. You perceive movement because the movement cells in your visual cortex are activated in a way that makes you perceive movement. It’s not that mind boggling if you do some vision science research.
