Cenesthetic hallucination

[wildwood]

Sorry, not a real question but this is freaky.

Get ready to experience an hallucination.

1.- Click on the link below
2.- Then "click me to get trippy",
3.- Look at the center of the screen for 30 seconds, and then...

4.- Look at your hand holding the mouse, without moving it away from the mouse...NOT BEFORE!

( it is called "cenesthetic hallucination")

Yep, that worked.
I'm Interested to read a scientific explanation why.

It is really quite simple Rasman. Your brain adjusts to the feeling as if you're drawn in a hole. When looking away it takes a few seconds to adjust to a still image. You don't need to look at your hand, everything appears to move in that you look at. The back of your hand makes it more freaky.
