The results of these kind of moving pictures are really something... an example is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9uYEM2osYQ

What is happening:
This effect is a visual illusion that is designed to over stimulate the visual peception cortex. The human brain attempts to compensate for the continuous movement but fails to stabilize the moving image, when you look away your over stimulated visual cortex is so confused it will continue to attempt to compensate for the previous movements.

Pretty awesome :). Just wish it could last a bit longer.

P.s. optical illusions have been known to trigger epileptic episodes.
