While approaching the Rotating Tilted Line Illusion (Gori & Hamburger, in press), the radial lines appear to rotate in counter-clockwise direction, whereas when receding from it, they appear to rotate clockwise. It presumably represents the simplest form of apparent motion illusions where self-motion is required for perceiving circular rotation.

A more complex version of the previous illusion. In this version the illusory rotation is stronger and there may be some residual counter rotation in the surround.

If your brain works normally this is neat. This is another example of an amazing illusion!!! The last sentence is so true.
If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, the dots will remain only one color, pink
However if you stare at the black " +" in the center, the moving dot turns to green. Now, concentrate on the black " + " in the center of the picture. After a short period, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see only a single green dot rotating. It's amazing how our brain works. There really is no green dot , and the pink ones really don't disappear. This should be proof enough, we don't always see what we think we see.
