Optical illusions have captivated and perplexed people for millennia, challenging our perception and knowledge of reality. The sensation of movement in seemingly motionless circles is an incredible illusion that continues to fascinate. It explores the interesting field of optical illusions, trying to determine if these circles are really moving or just an illusion.
Humans investigate Gestalt psychology to learn why humans experience motion in unmoving circles. Gestalt principles such as continuity and closure shed light on how our minds search for patterns and fill in missing information, resulting in the illusion of movement.
We delve into the deep functioning of the human visual system while investigating the physiological components of motion perception. We uncovered the mechanisms underlying illusion and its impact on our perception, from motion-sensitive neurons in the visual cortex to the integration of visual cues.

What is optical illusion? Are these circles moving or standing still?
This is not a GIF: it is an optical illusion created by @AkiyoshiKitaoka that demonstrates the strong (and beautiful) rotation of the “wheels”, which occur in relation to the movements of your eyes. On constant fixation, the effect fades. [Read more: https://t.co/XLyGSHyf0L] pic.twitter.com/5bh8GBBCi4

The Rotating Snakes optical illusion was invented by Akiyoshi Kitaoka, an experimental psychologist who creates and researches visual illusions. “This is not a GIF – this is an optical illusion created by @AkiyoshiKitaoka demonstrating the strong (and beautiful) rotation of the ‘wheels’ in response to your eye movements.” “Effect fades with constant fixation,” reads the caption to the optical illusion shared on Twitter by @Rainmaker1973.

In static circles, contrast and color have a big impact on our perception of movement. We investigate how contrast illusions and color interactions contribute to the illusion, influencing our understanding of the movement of circles.
The illusion of movement in motionless circles reveals the amazing capabilities and limitations of human visual perception. By unraveling the fundamental principles and mechanisms, we gain vital insights into the intricate interplay between our senses and our interpretation of the world around us. Whether these circles are moving or just an illusion, one thing is for sure: optical illusions continue to captivate and challenge our perception of reality.
Let’s see the solution
The optical illusion in question gives the impression that different parts of the image are in constant motion, despite the fact that the entire image is actually static. When you look away from the illusion, the circles appear to move. However, when you focus your attention on any of the circles, the apparent movement stops.
This Is How The Internet Reacted To This Viral Optical Illusion
Just a few days ago, this optical illusion was shared on Twitter and so far, it has garnered over 100,100 views, 87 retweets, 442 likes, 55 bookmarks, and lots of comments.
Well, in the comments section you can see people with a lot of emotions and characters talking about this optical illusion. While some think they can’t see the moving circles, others can.
This is a good test for the state of your nervous system: if you are excited about something, snakes will spin; if you are calm, they will be static.

Pinch the eyes to undo the magic.

I don’t see any movement here, nor in the image of the linked article. Is my vision too good?
