"Two rings"
The inner ring appears to contract while the outer one appears to expand
(peripheral drift illusion). Moreover, the rings appear to rotate in the opposite directions when
observers approach or move away from the image fixating at the center (Rotating
Ouchi illusion, which will be published in the summer meeting of the Vision Society of Japan). Furthermore, the inner ring appears to be more reddish when observers
approach the image fixating at the center, while the outer ring appears
to be more reddish when observers move away from the image (color change illusion). This image thus gives three different illusions.
