Illussions Blog

The first illusion I looked at was the stepping feet. It looked like the blue box was slowing down but it turned out that the yellow and blue boxes were going at the same pace. When I changed the color of the lines to gray the boxes didn't change pace. The second illusion was Stereo kinetic Phenomenon. The yellow circle apparently wasn't moving but it looked like it was moving to me. The third illusion I viewed was the Hermann Grid. this one was interesting because when the grid had strait lines i saw black circles in the crossings but when the lines curved the circles vanished. The fourth illusion was the Pyramid Illusion. It started of with two squares and more and more squares appeared. In the end it looked like there was a big x on the screen but it was just really really small squares. The fifth illusion was the Rotating Snake. When i focused on one circle that circle wasn't moving but when I looked at all of them with my peripheral vision all of the circles were moving. The sixth illusion I looked at was the Flash-Lag Effect. When i looked at the cross in the middle a blue circle would rotate around it. It would change to yellow every once in a while but when you actually look at the cross you would see a crescent in the circle but it changed color completely. The seventh illusion i viewed was the Enigma. When I stared at the purple circle in the middle for about a minute the black and white stripes seemed to rotate but they really weren't. The eighth illusion I observed was the Perceive your eye moments. This one was interesting because when i looked at the illusion the middle circle looked as if it was moving back and forth but it wasn't it was just in place.
