    Incredible Optical Illusion

    I've seen many optical illusions but this one is really amazing - the blue and green is actually the same color...

    Yep, at close range they really are both green.

    Here's one difficult illusion, took me a while back then, but now I need only like seconds. Go figure.

    What you have to do is to make her spin in the opposite direction.

    I saw this at www.dailytelegraph.com.au
    actually it has something to do with right and left brain.
    If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

    Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

    actually that spinning silhouette is a hoax ... the only way you can make it go counterclockwise is to stand on your head. i've seen a similar (working) cube test (which was a still image (no temporal reasoning, so it only measured perception))

    I don't think this is a hoax, I actually can see it spinning clockwise and counterclockwise ..... but it's quite hard ... I am manipulating the same gif image for you guys to see it as well! ... I'll be back with the result soon.

    I find it quite hard to see it spontaneously spin anti-clockwise, but I can. I guess I've got a strange brain.

    Once I've seen cool optical-illusion-chalk-paintings on the ground and have fallen in love with them. If somebody is interested, have found some cool things here-> 3D Chalk Drawings

    Wow. The effect still works when the image is scaled up or down by a lot. At both 10% and at 800% it is difficult to see that it's the same green. I had to use the eyedropper to verify.

    Incredible!!

    I took a piece of the "blue" and other of the green, and put into paint then resize and incredibly is the same color!!!!! WOW how our brain can lie to ourselves.

    Too I've saw the spiral spinner illusion , and it is another wonder ,
    is the same that is shown on tv when anybody wants to hypnotize,
    if you look the center for a minute while the spiral is spinning and then you look something you will see that this something begin to grow up and shrink slowly

    is great!
