Rotating Snakes of Akiyoshi Kitaoka

[Karl L. Wuensch]

Title: Re: WOW-- Optical Illusion

Well, this much discussed image is called "rotating snakes."  The illusion is discussed in the short article at http://www.psy.ritsumei.ac.jp/~akitaoka/PDrift.pdf .  The fact that it involves peripheral vision explains why I see no motion with my bad eye.       The artist's index page is at http://www.ritsumei.ac.jp/~akitaoka/index-e.html .  Yes, he is a psychologist.  You can find enough images there to entertain you for hours.   Karl W. ----- Original Message ----- From: G.
