Interactive demonstration of the “Benham's Top Colours” with rotation. What to do – On the right the “Benham Disk” spins, initially rather fast. What not to observe – The higher the speed, the more stroboscopic artifacts occur, due to the interaction of your monitor’s frame rate and the frame-wise display of the rotating wheel (think of the backwards rotating spoke wheels in Western movies).
What to observe – For starters, leave at high speed. Then the arcs take on weak (desaturated) colours, for instance I see a red-brown in the centre three arcs. Clicking on reverse exchanges the colours. The effect is also present at slower speeds, the hues may change. Comment — Benham’s top is a classic examples of subjective colours. I recently discovered Richard L. Sources Adamczak W (1981) The amacrine cells as an important processing site of pattern-induced flicker colors.

It employs a cellular automaton type logic I’ve devised to produce sound events. Each alive cell has 4 states: Up, right, down, left. at each cycle, the cells move themselves in the direction of their internal states. This set of rules produces chaotic results in some settings, therefore you can end up with never repeating, gradually evolving sequences.
