Just a lurkers observation here, but nobody has pointed out the brains role in all of this.

It's momentarily impressed by the effect, then returns to thinking about that hot coworker.

(

This one stands out for me, because it isn't an after-image. The blurb on the page sounds almost esoterical:
Quote:
The effect typically lasts for hours, or even overnight. The duration can be changed by the consumption of coffee and other psychoactive drugs. One paper found that it is stronger in extroverts than introverts, and might be a reliable test for extroversion.
The precise cause of the effect is unknown, and currently under investigation.

You've broken my eyes :(

I think my brain is broken. The vertical lines looked green to me the first time I saw them, before I had looked at the coloured image. And I don't see the magenta effect at all. :confused:

You know why it's more sensitive to variations on light than colour??? I DO!!! ME ME ME
It's because several rod cells synapse with one bipolar neurone. So by summation small amounts of light can trigger a nerve impulse in rod cells. Each cone cell only synapses with one bipolar neurone. I RULE.
And this is also why you don't see color in the dark, right?

Your capacity for colour vision is much more limited so yes.
Oh wait how would I know again? I only spent the last 2 years of my life learning this shit.
