If you, like many other ad guys, dig the optical illusion in this ad (and in at least eight others), or similar illusions of spinning wheels (seven different ads) or cog wheels, you will love the ones brought to you by MIT's Computation Visual Cognition Lab .

If you want to sound impressive when showing this off to your friends, here's the schpiel: "This illusion illustrates the ability of the visual system to separate information coming from different spatial frequency channels."
