Amazing Optical Illusion

This weird optical illusion will get your mind spinning, and you don’t even have to try very hard!

No this isn’ts a flash image, its a series of perfectly aligned colors and shapes give this image a real whirl. If you try looking a only one circle it stops just as you look at it. Really freaky!

An optical illusion (also called a visual illusion) is characterized by visually perceived images that differ from objective reality. The information gathered by the eye is processed in the brain to give a perception that does not tally with a physical measurement of the stimulus source. There are three main types: literal optical illusions that create images that are different from the objects that make them, physiological illusions that are the effects of excessive stimulation of a specific type (brightness, color, size, position, tilt, movement), and cognitive illusions, the result of unconscious inferences.

Pathological visual illusions arise from a pathological exaggeration in physiological visual perception mechanisms causing the aforementioned types of illusions.

Optical illusions are often classified into categories including the physical and the cognitive or perceptual, and contrasted with optical hallucinations.
