Do you see the illusion? At first, the two sets of lines appear to move independently of each other, moving back and forth at a 45° angle, perpendicular to the motion of the other set of lines.

Because our brain reads a change in light as motion, it looks like the lines are moving. In reality, they are entirely static. A similar trick is used to create the illusion of depth.

If there's a combination of things absolutely on the nose for Creative Bloq, it's an optical illusion you can create yourself ...

The third optical illusion shows four sets of lines, with the parallel lines apparently moving back and forth together. In reality, the four lines are all part of the same moving square.

The parts that make up the lines are actually just “drifting,” as in they seem to be just cycling colors in a certain direction. That drifting makes it seem as if the whole shape is moving ...

When each circle has moving stripes inside it, the two blocks appear to shift out of line with each other – effectively, the two groups start to act like separate objects. This illusion could be ...

Scientist creates tricky optical square illusion that tricks your brain into thinking it's moving by designing the shapes with luminance-based edges that activate motion-detecting neurons.

Richard Gregory discovered this illusion at a cafe in the 1970s. The gray lines appear to be slanted, but if you cover up the black and white tiles, you'll see that the lines are actually straight.

AN OPTICAL illusion has been bending people’s minds on the internet as simple circles and lines make the image appear to move. When you view this image, you might be surprised to realize that… ...

This brain-frazzling optical illusion is enough to put your head into a spin. The purple-and-yellow image looks as though it’s both three-dimensional and moving but is in fact stationary and flat.
