Lilac Chaser

The lilac chaser illusion, also known as the Pac-Man illusion, consists of 12 blurred lilac dots arranged like numbers on a clock with a black cross in the center. Each dot is blocked out for 0.1 seconds in a clockwise rotation. If you stare at the black cross, the absent dot appears to be replaced with a green dot.
