If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, you will only see one color, pink. 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 of time, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see a green dot rotating if you're lucky! 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.

pretty cool

 

[Dunk]

wow. maybe your not such a bad bro after all.

lol, its been a long time since I studied perception, Im not going to go into a length explanation which will prolly be flawed anyhow.
But my guess is that it is a function of the color schemes being used with the grey and the pink and the brain changes the interpreted data along the lines of habituation and signal dampening rejecting the stimulus. Sorta like how smells are only sent to the brain for a period of time before they adapt and discriminate the odors.
It could be a visual neural pathway effect like the smell or it could be a funtion of the visual cortex. The flashing of the dots and movement may increase discrimination.

Lol @ if youre lucky if you see green meaning you arent colorblind.

I cant really explain it though, not surprising, alot of cool perception things you can do Ive seen. Basically an adaptation to help the human animal find food and avoid danger by filtering out perceived useless information. A function of evolutional perception remnants, if you believe in adaptations such as evolution. Could be just a glitch in my supercomputer mainframe sending signals to all of you brains-in-vats in my mad scientist laboratory.
Its an example of perception and reality, and a muddied truth. Lots of philosophical arguments can be made with such a demonstration. Cool nonetheless

well its just a matter of perception, just like you percieved something was rotating, which it is not. just a sequence of flashing lights.

you dont even need to stare at the center + sign to change your perception. try starring at just one of the flashing dots. all the others disappear except for that one and it flashes from pink to green. you have to concentrate a little more.

and blinking seems to cause it to 'reset'.

yeah man, like psychonaut mission realities plateau sigma, totally different reality and landscape with each blink sometimes, pretty soon you can change it with thought
