While staring at the dot in the center move your head back and forth.

The circles will appear to move clockwise and counterclockwise depending on whether you are moving forward or away.

Go to this website for a small compendium of lightness optical illusions. The site also allows us to take the illusion apart and watch how its components work.

Stare at the center of the black dot for about 20 seconds. After a little while, you'll notice that the outside of the circle - the shaded area - starts to lose definition, and even becomes a solid color.

Sean

The lines in the background distort the circle so that it appears squashed.

Yes, very clever however you can resist the illusion by concentrating ver hard on what you KNOW is there.

Optical illusions are rather interesting. As for the question of where to obtain them - you can try the following links.

http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/
This one appears to be a large archive of optical illusions.

Flash Illusions

At first glance, you'll see some different colored stripes in the picture below. You'll see PINK, LIGHT BLUE, ORANGE, and GREEN. Now look closer. Actually, the GREEN and the LIGHT BLUE are the same shade. If you bring your head very close to the screen, you can see that the green/blue stripes actually go across the entire image.

It would first appear the monster that is chasing the other monster is much larger than the little guy. But in fact, you guessed it, they monsters are the same size. Now if only the "little" monster would realize this, he could turn around and we'd have a monster fight! Hmmm.
At second glance, I've decided that they're both running from a much bigger monster in the distance.:D

I've seen this before, and it still amazes me. I didn't believe it the first time, so I took it into paint with the ink blot tool, and sure enough, they are the same color. So cool. hehe
