    Cool Illusion!
    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. We just used this in class last Wednesday for our sensory lecture.

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

    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.
