Omni Brain
An exploration of the serious/fun/ridiculous - past/present/future of the brain and the science that loves it.
The Homunculus
The Omnibrain is a psychology graduate student at an online university. He hopes that the three weeks and $29.95 that he is spending on his Ph.D. will get him a job at a Tier 1 research university. Do online universities have postdocs? Ok...just kidding, The Omnibrain is a real graduate student at a real school somewhere in the continental United States - or maybe Europe.

Very nice effect. Do you know what mountain range is in the background? It's really beautiful.

I remember seeing that as the optical illusion of the day on my google homepage a few days ago. They may have more info on it at http://www.moillusions.com/
I'd check, but the site is blocked at work ;)
