Frazer's Spiral
Optical-Illusion
An optical illusion is a visually perceived image that is deceptive or misleading.Optical-Illusion
Does this look like a spiral? It's actually a bunch of concentric circles. Use your mouse to trace one circle and you will see that you come back to where you started instead of spiraling into the center.

Hah Hah my friend. Very nice Braingle. I love this. It looks like a spiral. Made me dizzy ♥ ♥ ♥
OMG i have never seen this one b4. I actually had to trace my mouse around the circles! Too cool!
Whoa, Jump back! I didn't believe it at first , my eyes lied on me, I traced the line with a felt tip on my monitor and of course braingle was correct, another great illusion!!
Hey Solar its not the Mona Lisa on toast, its s'ppose to be Mother Teresa
Freaky. My head hurts
kool
Awesome, hard to believe it is circles.Had to prove it to myself with the mouse lol
Whoa..my head! ^___^ JK
Finally, one that isn't on every Op. Illusion site.
wow, that was very great
I think it has something to do with how the shades of gray are simiular,but i like it
this was awesome! i loved it!
I like optical illusions...tho they're evil ... ...jk. I liked this...!
ow, now my eyes hut, whoa.
what i meant was that since their simular its a little harder to see so its hard to know what they are.does anyone agree with me.i really like this one, send some more
sorry for spelling they're wrong
i don't think thats the only reason, i think the last ones come off the page what makes it look 3D,and i think peaple are used to that desine being a spirill
nice one , but i'm kind of confused my eyes moght pop out
my eyes hurt
woooooooooo
COOL.. can anyone explain how could this happens??
This one is freaky cool. I copied it & I'm going to put it on my desktop to freak people out!
that was cool!!! so dizzy!!!
This is really cool although it made my eyes go funny after a while!!
Do not eat before doing this one! what a strain on my poor brain
I was too lazy to trace it but it still n00bz0rsed.
Iâ™ LOVEDâ™ IT! It was all the cooler though when i got my vison back after staring at if for 30 mins without tracing to see if i could get it. I still didn't get it until i traced it though, lol Still, great one. I wish they updated more
actually the little stripes along the circles seem to form a spiral
coldfire: It probably has something to do with the stripes on the circles. DO you see how they curve in?
Love it!
Love it!
creepy yet cool
awesome
Eh... it's okay.
I had to trace several circles several times before I believed that one. That was great!!!!!!!!
very cool!
Woah!My head is spinning!
â™ it is eye-boggling
Actually, there are no circles... plenty of arcs though
I know, some people are picky
I know, some people are picky
whooo!!!!!!!!that was KE-RA-ZZZYYY!!!!

sorry bout the smileys i am hyper!
but cool!why do you have so many of them anyways?

That was REALLY cool!!!
Love this one!
I know, its just happening çause of the check pattern behind it. I can actually see the place where it changes the circle but the mouse never goes on it. It's great, pal.
Now that's a new one. I like it!
...woah! that was so cool...my eyes hurt...

Very Weird..But Cool
awesome...
Awesome one, Jake!
COOLEST ONE YET!
wowness....
Wow, I had to trace it three times, but it works. Really cool!
Lets look at this in a scientific way. Ok, so you're looking at a spiral. It completly appears to go downwards, creating an optical allusion to my mind. But is there more than just the downward spiral? That is the trick optical allusions have on your Dual-brain nerves, located at the top right and left-hand corner of your head. Dual Brain-nerves allow humans and most intellectually-functioning beings to think clearly. This is also why we feel dizzy and make unacurate comments like "my brain hurts". As you have just annalyzed, your brain does not actually hur, it is your dual brain nerves. Also, i still have no idea why they are called that, as the are not even close to being part of your brain, as they are located right below the thick head plating known as th skull. so just to clear up any inacurate speech, i wanted to inform you all of this. Also, The allusion was ok i guess, it is certainly not as good as others are saying, because it only held my attention for a minute, right before i figured it out.
oooo
good spiral... just kiding
I traced it and yes, it's a serie of circles. BUT my mouse went to a wrong point lots of times.
Wacky. Fun. Strong. What else do you need from an optical illusion?

WooT! thats awesome
Does anyone know what the heck Blackbelt92 is talking about?
ok there has to be a catch to this thing really look at the middle it DOES! start spiraling it just looks like that cuz a certain part of the circles get close to each other its so obvious really only a genuis could figure that out DUH but cool illusion tho
oooooooooo......aaaaaaaaaaaaa
my brain hurts....
my brain hurts....
cool!!! man my eyes hurt!!
A Superb trick for the mind and eyes. Totally amazing, Jake! Keep up the great work.
awesomo!
one word : woah
This is awesome. I would have never figured out they were concentric circles until I used my mouse to trace it. I'm still dizzy!
we just learned about concentric circles in geometry...i never wouldve figured this out though!

Part of it is the background. The details get smaller towards the middle.
And the circles are made up of black and white lines that make it look kind of like a ribbon that twists around. Look closely.

ooohhhhh another part that makes it confusing is the backround! lol this keeps me entertained and it doesnt do anything!
Woah.
That's pretty intense.

I had to trace it like ten times because I kept messing up.
Dang.

Zomg, I think my brain just died.
WOW that really was driving me crazy. I traced it with my mouse and it really does work. I saved the picture and used one of my programs that i made to check if the spiral is really centric circles or fake.
I could sound smart and analyze why exactly the spiral appears as it does (as some others have) but why bother? It's a great optical illusion, who cares why it works the way it does! *it definitively hurt my eyes too O.o*
Wow, that's a nice thing to see when you wake up! Very cool!
GREAT YA ITS COOLLLLLLLLLLLL!
GREAT YA ITS COOLLLLLLLLLLLL!

Wow. I had to trace it using 2 fingers (1 to trace, 1 to mark my spot) about 3 times before I believed it. Wicked!
awsome dude it made me a little dizzy but it is soooooooooooo cool!
wow that was hecka cool!! i didnt believ it was just circles for a second
I had to do as Elios did to actually trace the circle. Really awesome.
even tracing it with my mouse, my eyes keep telling me it is a spiral. This is a favorite.
Is that even a spiral?
Who is that Frazer guy anyway?
Just kidding...

Man it looks soooooooo much like a spiral yet the person who posted this is right it is just a bunch of circles connected! But still it is an awsome quiz!
It kinda looks like either a vortex or a wormhole, the way I viewed it
