Just what is it? It's pretty wierd - stuff only spins when it is in your peripheral vision. When you look right at it, it stops!

They don't ever really spin (they're jpeg images) it just seems that way. It's probably our brains interpolating or somethin'.

nope...

visual memory retention. each circle is a little different and your brain trys to make them all the same. so in peripheral vision they appear to move...

If you stare at one spot and don't move your eyes they stop moving. I'm sure it has something to do with the refresh rate of the monitor. If you had that sheet in your hand they wouldn't move, I hope. Or maybe they really are coming to take me away, ha, ha.

Try this one. Stare at the center of the spiral for 20 seconds then look at the other picture.
I used to have a vinyl music record with this picture on it. Good party trick.

actually, you're dead on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

look at each pic closely and you'll notice that the black/white stripe next to the green is reverse in every other pic.

your brain "thinks" they're all the same and then trys to adjust for the differences ...

cool!

You're so smart Andy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) Your explanation sounds much better than our brains interpolating. That sounds scary.

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary

interpolate

v 1: estimate the value of; in mathematics [syn: extrapolate] 2: insert words into texts [syn: alter, falsify]

Your brain is trying to make sense of what you're seeing and it's "giving its best estimate". You got a better word?
