The Brain Is A Wonderful Organ

Although the following image seems to be moving, it is actually static. Your brain is doing the moving for you.


Amusing, eh? A noted genius in the field of optical illusions named Akiyoshi Kitaoka, an associate professor of Ritsumeikan University's Department of Psychology in Kyoto, has been creating tons of these images for quite some time now. His books, "Trick Eyes" and "Trick Eyes 2" contain all of his works but are, unfortunately, only available in Japan. You can, however, find tons of his illusions, dating as far as May 2002 (ok, maybe not too far), in his website. If you're into this type of mental masturbation, go check it out at Akiyoshi's Illusion Pages.

Now, back to work.
