PEOPLE have been baffled by the optical illusion of gray squares appearing to move.
At first glance, the image, which has a collection of squares around the edge and in the middle of a simple background, looks more like a gif than a pattern.

However, this is actually wrong because the image doesn’t move at all.
The optical illusion is making the rounds on Reddit after being shared by user evilgator, and has now received 25,000 upvotes.
The caption read: “This is not a gif.”
Many people were very impressed with the illusion, with one writing: “Depending on which eye you use, the inside or outside twists. What?”
THE SCIENCE BEHIND OPTICAL ILLUSIONS
This brief explanation can help you untangle your brain…
- Optical illusions make a little more sense when you learn that our eyes have very little to do with what we see and that it is our brain that plays a key role in creating images and trying to protect us from potential threats that come our way. surround.
- Our brain is constantly trying to understand the world at the fastest rate even though the world is in 3D and the images on our retina are in 2D.
- It can be very difficult for your brain to interpret everything at once, so it will often take shortcuts and give you a simplified version of what you’re seeing so you can react faster if the object you’re looking at seems dangerous.
- When you look at an object, what you actually see is light bouncing back into your eye, converted into electrical impulses that your brain then converts into an image.
- Our brains can distort straight lines if an object in the way seems to be getting closer because it wants to emphasize a potential threat.
- Different colors, light and dark can make objects of the same size look different, or make patterned images appear to be spinning.
Another added: “I’m not feeling well.”
So how does it work?
An illusion is an example of illusory movement that tricks the brain into thinking that something is moving.
This happens thanks to the interplay of color contrast and the placement of the form.
