Optical Illusion of The Day: Moving Spiral Optical Illusion

Here’s a great find by Stephanie! An animated .gif file of a spiral. But wait – as countless times before, our brain has once again been deceived! The spiral actually isn’t spiral at all, but set of mutually concentric circles instead. I’m perfectly aware we had loads and loads of similar optical illusions, yet this is the first time we have animated one, at least I think.

Originally created and named by Deskarati, this example is a perfect fit for #Seemingly bent category, where black and white patterns often provides terrific optical illusion!
