The two circles move in the opposite direction. While one moves to the right, the another one moves to the left. This exercise caused me a bit of dizziness.
ReplyDeleteThis is an Ilusion trick which tend to fool the brain in orden to make us feel or see different movements or things. It is clear that when we fool our brain we can outstand our mind, however, this is not always a good idea.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, because we would be fooling the subconscious as a first step. This type of mental exercise would be cheating the perception of seeing the things around us. However, our brain is responsible for creating a new decoding already scheduled for a second time with this type of exercise.
DeleteYour brain sometimes is affected through your sight sense, because you see what others want you to see. For example it is a simple picture but, if we see the point the picture comes alive.
ReplyDeletethis kind of optical illusion makes your brain see something that is not real. In this example it happens because of the inclination and position of those little squares.
ReplyDeleteThe image makes our brain have a mental game effect. At the same time we have a decoding in a cognitive way that are given by the organs of the senses and that those are recognized by the brain. For that reason, our mind is deceived according to the patterns taken from the image through an optical illusion.

Deleteit seems as though I am going through a hyperdimensional hole. A word of caution, done too much can make you throw up. Ah, optical illusions are nice.
ReplyDeletejust as everybody say on the comments .... our eyes are tricked by an illusion that makes us see how those circles move on a different direction... tho they are not moving.
ReplyDeleteBecause of the movement we made with our eyes, the brain's perception of the image varies while we are moving forward and backward our head. It seems like the picture was moving.
ReplyDeletethe movement that we make back and for infront of the black point cause an imaginary movement by the unconscious of the brain.
ReplyDeleteOnce I followed the instructions what I saw was the two circles spinning around but each one in a different direction.
ReplyDeleteThis happened because it is an optical illusion. Because of place the objects are organiced, they cheat our brain and make we believe they are spining around.
Something similiar happends in our daily day, we tend to believe in what we see or hear, but many times this is not all true. We have to learn to see the other side of things. That's why reflection is very important, because we make a deeper analizys of things, going beyond.
The image create an optical illusion of movement that in my case made me feel my brain going round and round.
ReplyDeleteIt is an optical illusion, this happens when the eyes receive specific information that the brain does not understand as logic; in this case, the moving of the circles, this can cause the altering the image by patterns such as light, darkness, and color.
ReplyDeleteIt is a weird feeling. It makes me feel dizzy, because you see the different movements while you’re concentrated on the black spot. I don’t know which kind of optical illusion is, but it could be an imaginary movement.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I followed the instructions my eyes trick my mind. This optical illusion show me that my mind tend to make assumption about the circles spin around. The things that you think or see are often not the truth. The motion is known as apparent motion. The circle illusion occurs because there is so much information hitting different parts of our retina at the same time. Our eyes trick our mind. The brain thinks that movement is real.
ReplyDeleteThe black dot is an element in order to catch our atention. It makes that our mind tends to give signs so that we can see the circles move. A part of that, the diamonds' position help to see that the circles turn in opposite direction. However, this optical phenomenon is just an image without movement.
ReplyDeleteThis is an optical illusion exercise, while I was moving my head, the image gave me the feeling that each circle was moving in different directions. So what I can infer with this type of excercises is that not always what we feel or see is the truth.

ReplyDeleteThe first thing that sprang from my mind was a complete dizzy, I was looking how it gets some movements inside when I moved my head forwards and backwards. In my deep I knew it was just a pictures but it tricks humans mind.
ReplyDeleteThis is a optical illusion, so, this picture plays with your mind and your eyes in the way you think that there are some moves in differents directions
ReplyDeleteAs my classmates said before, It's an optical illusion picture that it makes one pretend each circle is moving in different directions. It is just a brain game to make us realize that our brain also can be tricked.

ReplyDeleteThis is an optical illusion. It is an amazing phenomenon that tricks our visual system. I infer that it is as if we live in a world with many alternative facts and many ways of seeing things. Sometimes we do not know how to determine what is real and what is fake.
