![]() That contrast of colour obviously confuses the bit of our brain that does motion detection. I wonder if anyone has studied that...

![]() Hi-lite the sucker; as Static suggests, apparently this exact-pair's color contrast indeed buggers the mixer in an (unpronounceable) section of the optic path -- which I suppose is no more bizarre than is the audio translator into er, native brain-code. We are walking enigmas inside paradoxes avec metaphors.
5 seconds, and I ain't got no special gamer genes whatsoever. (May help Not to have binocular vision?) |

![]() . . and the snakes don't rotate either - though they do vibrate just a little at the center.
No - I'm not at all color blind. I do, however have eyes about 2° out of register (with the anchor point at the right edge of vision). When I open both eyes it takes about 1/2 second for the images to counter-rotate and achieve register. This additional coordination effort seems to kill a number of optical illusions. |

![]() If I concentrate on the center of my vision, it's steady. If I "zone out" a little and concentrate more on the periphery, then the motion is more intense.
When I first saw the maze illusion, I didn't notice the motion at all either. Vision is amazingly complicated. For instance, all of us are blind a reasonably large fraction of the time due to "saccades" - http://www.google.co...mvR1Jid0hYjWeNBIA (4 page .pdf) [...] Neat stuff. Cheers, Scott. |

![]() They supposedly train you to track words more smoothly without the saccades.
