This is a good collection of illusions, some of which I haven't seen before. I'm not so sure why they had to include a stupidtramp sound track though.
Here's another collection with some overlap and a techno soundtrack:
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.

I can see the duality in all of them except one. The first video, third illusion. It looks to me like an encampment of people around a domed hut. I can't see anything else there. There seems to be a closed fist perhaps, in the cloud on the right hand side, but apart from that I'm at a loss.
Can anyone help?

Nothing like making your mind bend. Whew! It's hard to see what we don't see. Great videos.

Simarillion, try turning your head counter-clockwise ;)
or just write this sentence backward:
e c a f a s i t i
also, the "left brain right brain" comment for the stroop task is hilarious.
