This maze will move you.

Neat. (Easy to solve though.)

on mazes
stick your left hand on the left wall, walk out the other end, boring but it works

same colors as the rotating snakes

Yes.
That contrast of colour obviously confuses the bit of our brain that does motion detection. I wonder if anyone has studied that...

Simple motion-sickness Rx
Hi-lite the sucker; as Static suggests, apparently this exact-pair's color contrast indeed buggers the mixer in an (unpronounceable) section of the optic path -- which I suppose is no more bizarre than is the audio translator into er, native brain-code. We are walking enigmas inside paradoxes avec metaphors.
5 seconds, and I ain't got no special gamer genes whatsoever. (May help Not to have binocular vision?) |

That maze is steady as a rock . . .
. . and the snakes don't rotate either - though they do vibrate just a little at the center.
No - I'm not at all color blind. I do, however have eyes about 2° out of register (with the anchor point at the right edge of vision). When I open both eyes it takes about 1/2 second for the images to counter-rotate and achieve register. This additional coordination effort seems to kill a number of optical illusions. |

It's a peripheral vision effect for me.
If I concentrate on the center of my vision, it's steady. If I "zone out" a little and concentrate more on the periphery, then the motion is more intense.
When I first saw the maze illusion, I didn't notice the motion at all either. Vision is amazingly complicated. For instance, all of us are blind a reasonably large fraction of the time due to "saccades" - http://www.google.co...mvR1Jid0hYjWeNBIA (4 page .pdf) [...] Neat stuff. Cheers, Scott. |

That's the basis of some speed reading
They supposedly train you to track words more smoothly without the saccades.
