Pedal Way Illusion


Comments (0)

Gaze at the red square. You will perceive 5 circles are moving similar to how a bicycle pedal moves as you pedal. Now, look at the 5 moving circles, you will perceive they are moving similar to a clock hand. Need a bit practise.

Explanation: the illusion happens when observer switches from foveal to peripheral viewing. When we switch between 2 visual systems, the moving objects sometimes happen in different ways.

Rail Speed Illusion


Comments (5)

In real life the bigger objects appear to move slower than little objects with same speed when viewed by naked eyes. To vertify the speed of an object by naked eyes we often use a point on ground as a stationary point and a point on that object. With big moving object, it is harder to chose an point than little object. In addition, it is harder to realise the distance (space) that big moving objects make per a specific amount of time (seconds, minutes…).

Motion Aftereffect Squarewave


Comments (1)

This illusion caused by the motion aftereffect. If one looks at a spiral for about seconds or minute and then looks at the stationary squares bellow of the spiral, these squares appear to be rotating opposite slightly. The illusory rotating movement is the motion aftereffect. This particular motion aftereffect is also known as the spiral illusion.

Rotation with Peripher Visual System


Comments (0)

The blue circles are set to move in clockwise direction. When switching from foveal visual system to peripheral visual system (to the right handside of the rotation) it appears the blue circles are more likely to rotate in counter-clockwise direction.
