An interesting optical illusion intrigues Twitter and goes viral
Twitter
The user shared a GIF of a buffering graph with a target in the middle. The caption tells people to focus on certain aspects of the clip to show that perception is actually based on what the human mind chooses to focus on.
They write, “1. If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, you will only see one color, pink. 2. Green Catastrophe: If you look at the black + in the center, the moving dot turns green.”
For the third way, the user suggests, “Reality Shatter: Now focus on the black + in the center of the image. After a short period of time, many if not all of the pink dots will slowly fade away and you may only see a spinning green dot.”

Twitter user explains how insight can change lives
The user goes on to insist on how life is similar to this optical illusion: “You are not just observing the world but actively participating in and creating your perception of reality.”
“Our experience of reality is affected by our beliefs and intentions, while it is limited by our knowledge and understanding of the world. It’s like you have ‘superpowers,'” the user continued.

To back up the post, another user chimed in to explain why the clip was an illusion: “This phenomenon is happening due to an optical illusion involving the perception of colors and movement by our eyes and brain. The illusion is based on the concept of ‘negative afterimage’. ‘and the perception of movement”.
Reasoning behind the illusion
For the first illusion, Kitty Pad clarifies: “1. When you follow the rotating pink dot with your eyes, your brain is actively engaged in following the movement and perceiving the color pink.”

The second becomes another trick for the eyes. Pad clarifies: “When you look at the black ‘+’, your eyes focus on a single dot, causing the pink dots to fall into your peripheral vision. Negative afterimage comes into play, where the pink dots momentarily’ change’ to their complementary color – green”.
And for the third, “Reality Shatter occurs due to a combination of motion perception and negative afterimage effect. When you focus on the black ‘+’, your brain becomes less sensitive to the pink dots in peripheral vision. By At the same time, the Negative Afterimage Effect makes the green dot more obvious. So you may only see a rotating green dot.”
