This vibrant optical illusion is hypnotic
Among the captivating phenomena in the world of optical illusions are those that possess an illusionary motion while consisting entirely of still images. These fascinating display cases fall into the category of physiological optical illusions, generating bewilderment through the brain's sensory overload as a result of an abundance of color, light, movement, or depth that surpasses its processing capabilities.
Behold the captivating purple and yellow vortex-esque pattern before you, captivating your senses. However, trust us when we say that this is not a gif or a video, but rather a perfectly static image. By manipulating various intricate patterns, light, and varying degrees, this visual masterpiece cunningly deceives your mind into perceiving motion when your eyes explore its intricate design. For a moment of respite from the illusion, focus your attention on the exact center of the image, and witness the illusionary motion come to a halt.
