CIRCLE {s 1}
}

Akiyoshi's comment: The illusory lines might be novel. In addition, the image appears to contract when seen in the peripheral vision. Moreover, when the image is swayed, the center appears to move.


Akiyoshi's comment: The contrast-reversed image is excellent, too. White streaks appear. When the image is swayed, the center appears to move.
