Snakes Optical Illusion

The amazing moving snakes illusion could be an animated gif, but it is NOT. Such illusions warn us that the eye is not merely a window, and that perception often alters what it perceives. An in-depth discussion of color vision and this illusion can be found at Color Vision: One of Nature's Wonders.

This illusion was created by Akiyoshi Kitaoka, Professor, Department of Psychology, Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto, Japan. Please visit his amazing Akiyoshi's illusion pages.
