is it moving??!??!?

 

No.

But it is quite an effect. What is the explanation for the perceived movement?

Neat

 

I looked at it and thought it was moving, but I know in my mind that it wasn't.
If you stare at it long enough you'll feel like your on drugs!!!

If you stare at it directly it wont move...focus on something else and it does

 

it's not a schooner.. its a sailboat... for some reason that just popped into my head... too much kevin smith I guess

 

It look like it's moving to me.

 

It's standing still. But I'm moving.

 

 

My brain hurts...

And I want to see the sailboat too!

 

It has to do with how your brain interprets the data it receives from peripheral vision. Notice how the points that you are focusing on are not appearing to move? Meanwhile, your visual cortex is rapidly re-adjusting itself because of the colors/pattern. The rapid readjusment creates the illusion of motion in the periphery parts of your vision.
