#2Jesus, this illusion is so powerful, you’d have to have a very poorly optimized brain to really see anything else.

#3Something I noticed and got a kick from: If you set the color to black or white then the real motion and the illusion are indistinguishable.

#4I don’t feel this is much of an illusion. I think you just can’t see the movement of gray on black. Or maybe this is what illusions are in a very simple form?

Pretty much. Change the color to yellow and it’s very obvious.

I can consciously toggle the illusion on or off.

Yeah, this effect is pretty strong. After staring at it a bit, the only way I found to 'break' it was by noticing that if I flicked my eyes towards a bird, there was a brief period before the illusion kicked in. By constantly flicking my eyes between each bird, I was able to perceive them as moving linearly.

They're just sliding smoothly for me unless I look at it without any focus as a disinterested viewer. I work on fixing moving pixels all day though so maybe I'm not an average subject.

#9It would have been interesting to control the width of the vertical stripes too , to see at what point it "starts" being a illusion. I assume for very thin stripes it might not work so well .

How would you define what an optical/visual illusion is?
