I found this video, my friend said it works. It's supposed to make you hallucinate after staring at it for awhile. I'd try it, but I'm on dial up, and am about to leave. When I get around to it, I'll say if it worked for me. :)

Yeah, I was just about to say that.
hey is there a direct download to the video? the website its on is giving me problems
That's excelllent, thanks.
what would you call that. Persistance of expectation?
could make a much smaller size file looping gif anim of only a few frames, or a flash anim, I'll give it a try.
It'd be even better if you could programme that to play a subliminal message in the background.
I could stare at that for hours :-)

THat was cool. Half way through I looked away and thought it was effecting my whole computer screen. But then I was like, It's Youtube, they can't do that....can they.
Hehe that is really good! :-D
It's just an FLV file you'll need an FLV player if you download it or you can convert it ... I just made it into a 4Mb avi if anyone is interested. You may need the MP4 codec to view it but if anyone can't get it any other way let me know. I'll leave it in a temp directory for a week or two.

I would guess it's messing with actual parts of your eyes. There are neurons or groups of them or etc. in your eyes whose only job is detecting vertical edges, horizontal edges, and things like that.
When you stare at a colorful image for long enough, and look away, you see an afterimage "opposite" in color (in relation to your eyes' cones, not actual opposite colors) of what you were just looking at because the cones of the colors you were staring at became "tired".
My guess would be this is doing the same thing, except it's targeting the parts of your eyes dealing with edges rather than with colors. This is just my guess, though.
If I'm right, then when you look away, you should actually be seeing a reverse of the pattern over everything you look at.

Wow, that makes sense. :)
There's another thing I saw where you stare at what looks like a blob, then you look at the wall and see Jesus. And that was using black and white reversed.
Wow, that was really interesting :lol:
I so want to look at this while stoned.
