As you can probably tell by all my optical illusions threads, I love them all and this thread is for the kind of optical illusion where your brain is tricked into seeing movement where there is no movement.

Here's a famous example with the Rotating Snakes optical illusion:

Stare at the black dot and move your head forward and backward and the circle will move:

I like the hidden picture type of optical illusion, like this:

I think in this one that it is the movement that creates the illusion:
