That's neat. It totally works, too.

If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, you will only see one color, pink.
If you stare at the black + in the center, the moving dot turns to green.
Now, concentrate on the black + in the center of the picture. After a short period of time, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see a green dot rotating if you're lucky!
It's amazing how our brain works. There really is no green dot, and the pink ones really don't disappear. This should be proof enough, we don't always see what we think we see.

Green is the polar opposite to that purple /pink color..so it makes sense.

If I stare at something purple and move it away, a green blob is left over..or is that just me?

If I star at something black, and I move it, a white blob is left..same with all colors and their opposites.

So what is happening here is the same thing...the pink/purple is moving, and green takes it's place.

and this-

IS IT TRUE?????

Follow the instructions:

1. Relax and concentrate on the 4 small dots in the middle of the picture for about 30-40 seconds
2. Then, take a look at a wall near you (any smooth, single coloured surface)
3. You will see a circle of light developing
4. Start blinking your eyes a couple of times and you will see a figure emerging
5. What do you see? Moreover, whom do you see?
