That's the same couple as this gif I think, who are constantly doing horrid poo poo to each other:  E: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49EjERmlJ2I snortpocket has a new favorite as of 22:49 on Dec 14, 2013 |

Since I'm studying the visual perception unit for one of my finals, I figured I'd take a break and share a neat illusion with you guys. First: look at this gif. How are the dots moving?  Easy, in straight lines, right? Now stare at this frog  while paying attention to the gif in your peripheral vision. Now how are the dots moving?

I don't know, man, the dots move up and down even before I stare at the frog. Can I ask for a bit more scientific explanation on how this illusion is...'perceived'? I've studied neuroscience but mostly focused on developmental. As exchange, here's another neat trick!

I've studied neuroscience but mostly focused on developmental. Both dots are just moving in a straight line back and forth, any up or down movement you see is an illusion.

I get what the illusion is, but how does that arise, man? What exactly about the structure of the eye (or the visual processing) makes it possible for us to mistook a straight movement for an up and down movement? I'm an idiot and need some more thorough explanations. (click for source)   I...I have no idea what's going on the last gif there. A 'lawn pimple'?

Either sewer or water busted. If the former, he's gonna be reeeaaal sad if he breaks through the turf.

He was expressing astonishment about the turf basically floating over some water that had come up after an earthquake in Japan. There was also a sidewalk in the shot. Must have conflated the videos.

What exactly about the structure of the eye (or the visual processing) makes it possible for us to mistook a straight movement for an up and down movement? I'm an idiot and need some more thorough explanations. There are a few hypotheses about why this happens. The most popular one seems to be that much less information about objects in your periphery is conveyed to your brain than objects in your fovial vision (or, the center of your vision). As such, your brain has to make more "estimates" about objects in your peripheral vision using context information. When your brain is trying to figure out the movement of the dots it is greatly influenced by the striking black lines in the background and perceives the movement as following said lines. A similar effect can be gotten from this gif, perceiving circular movement as linear movement. The effect isn't quite as striking as the first one I posted, I think, though.  Anyway, here's some more gifs that I made instead of studying for one of my many finals next week! Yay!   (Click either for video)

 I don't understand how this trick works at all. If the 'upstairs' is actually the same height as 'downstairs', how can you create a slope at all?Here's a female.  (click for Vine source)

They're the same height, the whole thing is slanted. That's why the ball automatically rolls to the left. There's a bump to keep it from rolling down the stairs immediately, and the spoon moves it up the slope, then pushes it over the bump so it can roll back down.

If the entire thing is slanted, then how do all the little beads strewn throughout the structure stay still?

I'm an idiot and need some more thorough explanations. It's been a long time since my last neuroscience class but there are parts of the brain that fire in response to various orientations of lines, like top-right to bottom-left 45 degrees, 60 degrees, etc. for all angles. It's part of how the brain parses rough info about what the eyes perceive, before it gets to the conscious parts of the brain. Plus what dijon du jour said, basically the brain is doing a lot of filling in the blanks. Heuristics. There was some experiment where they raised animals in the bottom of a round room with vertical stripes on the wall, they had really weird balance and such and couldn't really walk.

Easy insofar as sitting there with your face and your license plate recorded on camera stealing $60 worth of gas.
