10 Optical Illusions That are Going to Mess With Your Brain
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
Um, what?
Keep your eye on that center and watch the disappearing act
I don’t get it, I just don’t
Stop moving!
Am I tripping? Seriously, am I tripping?
OK, I’m getting out of here
Or not
Phew!
OK I had to throw that one in there 🙂
Hehe, I like it!
lol nice, like it!
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…
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.
@Tongboy you’re right but it also works with the static one, just focus on the center.
Those are amazing!
Absolutely amazing! Wow I’m glad I don’t have such problems with vision. However, I could scare the living daylight’s out of many with pics from the scenes out of Neptune’s ocean’s taht would amaze anybody. Anyway, these as you show prove that I am not color blind. lol.
Maybe I’m stupid.. but I don’t get the 3rd one :|. Can anyone explain what I’m supposed to be seeing?
I love the rest though :).
Boat? I can’t see any boat.
holly cow, that was cool :)) My brain is entirely damaged now :))
Illusions simply super!:)
By the way, will prompt resources where it is possible to learn most them to create?
haha! my eye hurts! x_x
but it’s coooooool!
There’s something wrong with me—nothing changed in any of them for me.
I personally couldn’t find the boat in the one photo..but I’m almost blind. A couple of the others seriously gave me a migraine. Thanks for that.
me han encantado los efectos opticos, que divertidos
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.
