Stepping Feet, Motioned Induced Blindness, Stereokinetic Phenomenon, Rotating Snake Illusion, Snake Illusion Ab Lib, Pinna-Brelstaff Illusion, Motion Aftereffect (waterfall illusion), Spiral Aftereffect are all of the illusions I looked at.
I learned that the ones that seemed like they were moving when you didn't look directly at them, they were stationary. Most of the illusions dealt with the color coordination, the speed at which it spiraled if it did, and any other moving objects within the illusion.
What surprised me is how distracted, sick and dizzy it can make you. The spiraling ones really got me. They are so distinguished it just makes you want to hurl after a while of looking at it.
I don't necessarily think these illusions change much on how we sense and perceive the world in any drastic way. It does however get you to look at things in another view.
These experiences won't really effect me on a day to day basis. I don't see many illusions like these on a daily basis.

I get really sick and dizzy too if I look at too many or look at illusions too long. I feel like it is our eyes that play the tricks on us.
