Nothing special I post here, but found it kind of interesting.
You can find things like this on many homepages or in several books about this topic (optical illusions etc.), but I wanted to try it in DBP. I saw this illusion in the internet yesterday. It shows some pink boxes in a circle, and you have to concentrate on the center. If you don't know what happens, try it out and see the effect...



Will probably also run in DBC.
Have fun... and don't look at it too long, you'll get crazy or blind or something.

Very strange... even looking at it for a few seconds leaves a burned green circle on your eyes. Nice.

The opposing color of magenta is green. By staring at the center, the magenta squares will temporarily leave a "burn" mark in your vision, the exact opposite color of what it was. By leaving all but one of the squares up, this gives your eyes more time for the color to sink into your vision, and by only flicking one of the squares off for a little bit, it will show the green "burn" square in it's place! Of course, the program turns off the magenta squares in a circular fashion, and so the burned in green squares will eventually start to appear as if they are moving in a circle

As a side note: By staring at the gray, black, and white center and providing your full attention to the burn marks in your vision, your brain will "blank out" or "fill in" the magenta squares with the surrounding color. You can bring them back without moving your eyes, just start to concentrate on the magenta squares instead of the burn marks


(Sorry if I'm a party pooper, lol. I just loved optical illusions and so I studied them for a while.)
