Quote:I wrote a paper on this kind of stuff recently. The reason you see the illusion like that is because of the way the "cones" (which there are about 6 or 7 million of) and "rods" in your eyes detect color/black and white. Cones are for color and rods are for black and white. When you stare at the black "+" the pink dots go away because the rods are active in the eye. The non-existent green dot you see because your peripheral vision is picking up color still but is being confused because of your focus on the "+".Thats awesome man! Thanks for the info.
Hope I didn\'t bore anyone with that!
