Illusion makes still images like moving

Still images seem to be moving due to the color contrast and the position of the drawings.

When we look at the image above, we feel like the patterns are spinning, according to Mother Nature Network. This is an optical illusion, making the still image seem to be moving. This effect is caused by the color contrast and the position of the drawings.

Scientists are still learning how to interact between the eyes and the brain to cause a moving visual illusion. They hypothesized that white makes the light-sensing cells in the retina "on", while black makes them " off". When the white or black color is close to each other in the image, we will see them blinking making the brain mistakenly think the picture is moving.

Ming-Te Chi, a researcher at Chengchi National University, Taiwan, analyzed the photos that made viewers feel the movement in 2008. Chi and his colleagues said that the arrangement of bands The repetitive color of small asymmetrical drawings plays an important role in creating motion effects.

In addition, the combination of different colors with high contrast makes the illusion to become stronger, such as combining black with white, blue and yellow.
