Wild Optical Illusion
Here is a very interesting illusion caused by a repeating monochromatic pattern. It is described by the video makers as being mildly hallucinogenic but that is really stretching is a lot. It is however interesting. Fyi the effects only last a matter of seconds to at most a minute. Have fun.

Cool. But hallucinogenic, not hardly.
Well, I could not classify it as such but the video makers did so I thought, what the hell, I can't but maybe I am just missing something. In reality it is little more than a persistence of vision.
Exactly. I've always had a hard time with a lot of this stuff, because my mind instantly starts taking things apart and looking at what is what. I remember the old ones they had on cream of wheat packages when I was a kid. The one where you looked at the top and it looked like 2 prongs, but at the bottom it looked like 3. Took me all of about 4 seconds to figure that one out. Now I wish they still did that stuff, instead of just the boring dead looking packets they have now.
I have one of Gardiner's dragons that you can print out, sitting on my desk here. Even knowing how it works, doesn't prevent it from working. The really interesting effect or lack there of is the people it will NOT work on. I have a couple of friends with Asperger's syndrome and they can NOT see the effect. Now is that weird or what?
