Wonderful Optical Illusions

Akiyoshi KITAOKA, Department of Psychology, Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto, Japan, has presented some wonderful visual illusions. Even after knowing the truth they continue to fool you. I can attest to that.

Caution: The page contains some works of “anomalous motion illusion”, which might make sensitive observers dizzy or sick. Should you feel dizzy, you had better leave this page immediately.

Open the individual images by clicking on the small samples.

Some of the pictures on this website can cause dizziness or might possibly epileptic seizures. The latter happens when the brain can’t handle the conflicting information from your two eyes. If you start feeling unwell when using this website, immediately cover one eye with your hand and then leave the page. Do not close your eyes because that can make the attack worse.
