The style of optical illusion relies on contrasting colours and repeated patterns.

If you look directly at one of the spirals, the others surrounding it will begin to spin.

But the optical illusion is designed to confuse your mind into thinking something that's not even happening.

Can you see what?

As your brain is filling in the gaps in your peripheral vision, it's making you see the spirals spinning.

When it's not actually the case…

It's making you see the spirals spinning, either clockwise or anticlockwise.

However if you focus on looking at just one part of the illusion for 10 seconds, your brain will adjust.

Then the image will no longer move.

There's so many reasons why these optical illusions work.

Our brains are able to perceive lighter values way more quicker than dark values.

It explains why you're seeing movement in the image, when it's actually completely still.
