I'd forgotten about this one. It's not new; some of you have seen this before... if you haven't seen it, you're in for a treat!

That's pretty cool. The first couple of times I did it, after moving my eyes, the color seemed to fade from the picture gradually -- which was really bizarre. :)

You can get it back to color by refocussing on the dot but its not as vivid it seems.

Thanks Rick -- that was cool!

Here is a great site for illusions (http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/). We just used this in class last Wednesday for our sensory lecture.

I had never seen that one though. It was pretty cool.

Took me back to my mis-spent youth Rick.You know,those late night parties,and blotting paper! :o

No way!
I understand the illusion, but Im not convenced the color isn't actually changing to black and white as part of the animation.

EDIT: Never mind. If you keep staring at the dot, it stays color longer.

How weird.

Cool thanks! Saw this one at stumbleupon

Nice illusion..

Swear I saw it somewhere else some time ago..

EDIT: Posted on wrong thread sorry!!
