I stumbled across the most awesome optical illusions today, and I couldn't resist sharing them. Maybe you've seen this type of thing before, but I sure haven't. Be warned they might just over your mind!

Love these kind of things. Been to an exhibition once that was all about them, and although I was to young to remember most of it I still recall I was really fascinated by it and went to the library to get some books to find out how it all worked. The first and third clearly moved for me at the beginning though now a little less, but the second doesn't seem to do much unless I go over it a lot with my eyes.

Because these were .gif, I had to copy and paste them into photoshop to make sure they weren't animated!

Hmm I can't really make out the second one either. Pretty cool still

Wow! They do seem to move, that's pretty neat. Hypnotic, almost.

Edit - I set it as my background. It's quite freaky.
