        Types ▬ After Images
 
After images cause you to see motion and colour where there is none.

An optical illusion of this type may ask you to look at a brightly coloured, then look at a plain piece of white paper. You would see an after image of the that image in the right colours. Looking at some of these images and then looking away causes you to see spots where none exist.

There are simply after images, or images that your eye hangs onto for awhile even after you are done looking at something. There are both black and white and colour after images, as well as motion after images.

 

Stare at the grey dot in the centre for 30 seconds and move your head forward and backward. As your head moves closer to your monitor and then back away from your monitor, the circles will appear to be spinning.
If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, the dots will remain only one colour, pink.
However if you stare at the black "+" in the centre, the moving dots turns to green.
Now, concentrate on the black "+" in the centre of the picture. After a short period, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see only a single green dot rotating.

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.
