I came across this while researching the Miserere by Allegri. The music is devastatingly gorgeous, of course (a setting of the 51st psalm). But this image is very interesting. When I look at the center of it, I can see it changing slowly. And yet it never changes. Is this just me, or do the rest of you see it too?

Fascinating. I just spent far too long staring at this.

Yeah, I kinda do. If I stare and relax my eyes, it’s like it slowly bounces up and down, all while going back and forth between 2D and 3D. Nice music, too!
Bit of acid flashback, guys?
Actually, this is the only Miserere I know. I thought this is what you were referring to.

This is from the Choir of Trinity College “Stairway to Heaven” CD… so…
may be correct! The music is indeed incredible, and there’s nary a bad cut on the CD.
As for me, I think the image is static.

Weird. I see it too.

Yep, it seems to move very slowly, not quite a swirl but as if it was about to slowly cave in on itself. It is just our brain playing tricks on us, because it is a static image, the longer we stare at it or any other image with intricate colour schemes it will appear to move.
I found that as soon as I looked at it I percieved movement at around the ‘6 o’clock’ position of the image and again around the 1-3 position and from there to near the centre of the image. How long does it take to ‘move’ for others?
