At first glance the image is nothing out of the ordinary with rows of alternating yellow and blue circles.
But if you look closer and focus your gaze, the picture starts to get all wobbly.
All the circles appear to be melting back and forth and the intensity can even ramp up if you scroll up and down.
The reason the circles “move” is due to the placement of black and white stars in between that confuse the way our eyes see things.
Redditors were quick to comment at just how dizzying the optical illusion was.
One bamboozled user said: “Just scrolling up and down on the picture makes me feel like my brains getting a massage.”
“Just scrolling up and down on the picture makes me feel like my brains getting a massage” said another.
A third viewer claimed: “This immediately started to make my eyes water.”
Others on social media were quick to crack out the jokes after the trippy visual left them rubbing their eyes.
Another joked: “If you cross your eyes and half-overlap the images you can lock in a portal to the yellow and blue dimension.”
Meanwhile, this insanely detailed illusion shows four popular Marvel characters in just one painting – who can you spot?
And what do YOU see when you look at this picture of a fish? It says loads about how your brain works.
Recently, a spinning horse has left viewers bamboozled as they argue about which way it turns.
