Here is a small animation that will let you detect your blind spot. All you have to do is close your left eye and look at the small circle with your right eye. At some point you will see the large circle simply vanish – and that is your blind spot in action!

Take a close look, the gray squares marked A and B are both the same shade of gray. This is caused by the effect of a shadow darkening the surrounding squares.

Optical Illusion #2

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

If you stare at the blinking pink dots, you will see only one color, pink.

If you look at the the + in the center, you will see a circle of pink dots and a rotating green dot.

Now, stare at the + without moving your eyes.

The pink dots will disappear and you will see only a rotating green dot.

It’s amazing how our brain works. There really is no green dot and

the pink ones don’t really disappear. This is proof that we don’t always see what we think we see.
