This may belong in A&P, not really sure.
I know how to dress my links

Thats the nature of focus and consciousness. It's a simple demonstration of how your brain edits information before sending it on to your consciousness.

Now what'll really blow your mind is the people who are consciously blind but still know whats around them because their brain edits out fucking everything.

If you go up, the site has quite a few illusions or demenstrations.

Very cool.

There's more here.

That is so fucking cool. I was jus' starin' and all the yellow spots went away...

Yes, I find simple things amusing.

This is very cool. Even at nearly zero speed the spot continued to disappear.

Woah... Freaky.

Wow. What a great illusion. Great site, Howie! Thanks.

Most Awesomenes! Thanks for sharing!

Ah, I do so love these things. Ta for the linkies.

heh, yeah, I've seen stuff like that before. It's cause where light actually enters your eyes you have blind spots in your perepherial vision (at least, to the sides of where you're focusing), literally - everyone has them. Your brain automatically takes surrounding data to fill in the "holes". So, with that thing rotating, and the yellow dots being about the same size as the blind spot(s), when you focus long enough your brain fills in the holes with what you can actually see there... the black background.

crazy ... i must learn how to use this against people somehow

I like the one with the waterfall and Buddha statue. Makes it look like it's breathing.

The Margaret Thatcher one doesn't make any sense.

Weird. Is this how stoners feel all the time?

Damn, my eyes sting.

Oooh.. optical illusions are fun =D

Those are some pretty neat illusions...

Nice stuff, although I feel kinda dizzy after looking.
