Optical illusions are a fun art form that can completely trick your brain. By using color, light and patterns, images can be created that can be misleading. The stimuli our eyes gather can be altered to create some amazingly deceptive perceptions.

The optical illusions you’ll see in the animated .gifs below aren’t extremely complicated. In fact, sometimes the simplest optical illusion can be the most impressive. Check these out:

1.) And it just keeps going…

2.) These squares aren’t what you think.

3.) Is this mask inside out or outside in?

6.) The grey rectangle is one solid color.

7.) Can you keep track of the surface of this mobius trip?

8.) Watch this closely…

9.) Is this banana smashing or not?

10.) These squares are actually moving at the same speed.

11.) And so are these. Watch as the background turns grey.

12.) WOAH.

13.) You could watch this for hours.

14.) This cardboard T-rex always has his eye on you.

15.) Is this triangle really spinning back together?

16.) And the orange dot never changes in size.

17.) Which way is this dancer spinning?

18.) If you concentrate, you can change the direction this train is traveling.

19.) It’s all about perspective.

20.) This image actually isn’t moving at all.

21.) And this image will never end.

22.) We know just how you feel, cat.
