If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot,you will only see 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 a green dot rotating It’s amazing how our brain works. There really is no green dot, and the pink ones really don’t disappear. ![http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s204/MannyOM2/dots.gif](http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s204/MannyOM2/dots.gif) ---

actually i think green is used… like, the dots blink from pink to green… if u cover all dots with ur hands on the monitor, and look at just one pink dot, the green shows up regardless ---

There are certain parts of your eye that you actually can’t see with. but your braind uses the other information it recieves to make up for it. One of the tests I had to do at my for my eye doctor was this thing where they have you look into one of those machines that are like binoculars and you click a button when you see a dot appear. they can then tell which parts of your vision tyou are blind in. It has to do with your peripheral vision and stuff. Its pretty neat actualy. ---
