Comments on: Motion and the Mind https://globalspin.com/2003/09/motion-and-the-mind/ a glimpse into the tiny mind of Chris Radcliff Sat, 01 May 2010 03:53:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.8 By: Karen https://globalspin.com/2003/09/motion-and-the-mind/comment-page-1/#comment-156 Mon, 29 Sep 2003 16:38:13 +0000 http://globalspin.com/wp/2003/09/25/162/#comment-156 I don’t understand either, but I have a feeling it has something to do with the light/dark dichotomy–all of them have a few things in common:

–they have a light edge or side and a dark edge or side
–they move in conjunction with others that have the light/dark in the same relative position
–the movement is all peripheral (if you look straight on, they don’t move)

I wonder, does it have something to do with the premise that dark colors want to “recede” in our visual space when next to light colors?

If you hadn’t said they were optical illusions, and if they didn’t stop the second you look at one of them directly, I would have just assumed they were examples of someone having fun with flash or something.

Why?
