This mind-boggling optical illusion tests your perception of shape and size

The static version of the illusion consists of two images of several circles arranged in a pattern around a center circle.

Since optical illusions have taken the internet by storm these days, we’ve come up with another one to rack your mind. The dynamic Ebbinghaus illusion, which is going viral, is an excellent test of how we see objects in the context of other objects. “The Ebbinghaus illusion is a classic example of the effect of a contextual environment on the perceived shape of an object,” write the researchers in the journal Frontiers for Human Neuroscience.

The static version of the illusion consists of two images of several circles arranged in a pattern around a center circle. The catch, however, is that both of these center circles are the same size, although the right one appears to be larger than the left. A new take on the classic illusion is the mobile version, with a video that will test your skills and includes the motion dynamic Ebbinghaus.

A dynamic version of the Ebbinghaus illusion titled The Dynamic Ebbinghaus and published on the Illusion of the Year website shows a classic spin. Apart from a circle in the centre, there are 6 circular figures all around. At first glance, the shape of the center and edge circles appear to be different but in fact they are the same. But due to constant shaking, they look different. According to the researcher, in contrast to this classic shape, the inner circle is supposed to be larger on the right side and smaller on the left.

Researchers Christopher de Blair, Gideon P Kaplowitz and Ryan EB Mrzek write that the central circle remains the same size but appears to change its shape. It is surrounded by a cluster of shells that grow and shrink over time. The second moving display presented in the video says to focus on the yellow dot in the outer circle. Because the entire image plays on the screen, the circumferential circles continue to grow and shrink. But if you look away from the central circle or move your eyes, or if the entire stimulus plays across the screen, the illusory effect is surprisingly strong, at least twice as large as the classic, static Ebbinghaus illusion.
