Default Circle with blinking pink dots--pretty cool

I'm sure some of you have seen this before, but I just stumbled across it today. Any idea how it works?

No idea. I can only theorize that the dots are so like the color of retinal after-images that the brain edits them out after staring at them for long enough.

My (albeit wild) guess is that it has something to do with the ration of rods to cones in the center of your visual field as opposed to the outside of it.

Try doing it cross-eyed, it makes it look even cooler.
