This is a new one I saw on Brain games the other night and had never seen before.
Look at the yellow dot, which way do the balls rotate, look at the red, they should switch. http://www.moillusions.com/2013/05/i...they-spin.html

You can also mess around with the speed by looking at different areas of the orange. It slows down as you look to the edges, speeds up when you look between the two rings of dots. You can almost get the dots to stop orbiting but they they still spin.

Neat. Now stare at the spot between them, and try to see them both spinning in their true direction (both counterclockwise.)

Looking about 2:00 from the red dot is the closest I can get to stopping the spin on both sides.
What does this mean? After some excellent Viognier and a Black Russian, I don't know, but I'm sure it's significant.

Like, whoaahh ....
There is a conflict generated in our brains by the use of black and white stripes in the moving dots. The dots are moving at one pace, and I think the stripes actually move within the dots, thereby suggesting a different pace. Both paces are represented in our brains. We flick from one interpretation to another. There may even be a third interpretation as our brains interpret the dots as holes in a moving screen and the stripes as being the background seen through them, generating a third rate of movement to "perceive". Seriously, like, whooah.

A simple premise, but so effective!
And well-executed of course.
