SEE ANY BLACK DOTS?
Seeing flickering black dots is an illusion. Only white dots appear in this photo. The sensation of black dots is an expectation created by the adjacent–and more voluminous–black squares. Your brain fills in the color black into the small white dots.

Very interesting how our mind works, and how colors can trick us into thinking we see something that is not the truth. It does look like they are flickering to black and white. When I try to focus on certain white dots the others in my peripheral (sp?) view turn black.
