This illusion was sent to me by Cameron.

Subject: I bet I can get you out of your chair

absolutely amazing..........

If you look at the images below from your seat in front of the computer, Angry is on the left, and Calm is on the right.

Get up from your seat, and move back 12 feet, and PRESTO!! (I am not able to get back 12 feet!!)

It is said this illusion was created by Phillippe G. Schyns and Aude Oliva of the University of Glasgow.

STRONG! This proves that we may not be seeing what's actually there, all the time!!?? Spooky, huh?

Here is another one. If anyone has any more, please post them.

If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, the dots will remain only one colour, pink.

However if you stare at the black "+" in the center, the moving dot turns to green.

Now, concentrate on the black "+" in the center of the picture. After a short period, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see only a single green dot rotating.

It's amazing how our brain works. There really is no green dot , and the pink ones really don't disappear. This should be proof enough, we don't always see what we think we see.

I can't get back 12 feet for the first one but do the pink dots not disappear for anyone else?! I always knew my brain was weird!

I can see the green dot going round, but don't really see the pink dots disappear. If I screw my eyes up, I can just about see them disappear.
