So, how does it work?
Don't worry, we'll explain everything! Look carefully at the spinning pink dots. If you follow them carefully, you'll see that they're pink. But if you look closely at the + in the middle of the picture, then the spinning dots will turn green.
But it's not over yet! Now concentrate on the black + in the center of the image. After a short time, many, if not all, of the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you may just see a spinning green dot. Are you hallucinating too?
An Internet user has provided an explanation for this optical illusion. According to @kittypad, the phenomenon is due to an optical illusion involving our brain's perception of colours and shapes.
This phenomenon is happening due to an optical illusion involving our eyes and brain's perception of colors and motion. The illusion is based on the concept of "negative afterimage" and motion perception.
