      Does this require a certain type of screen or something? This image has never done anything for me.

          I understand it’s an optical illusion, but I know that some optical illusions take advantage of a screen with a high refresh rate or a low refresh rate or some unique aspect of OLED or something. I’m just wondering if this particular optical illusion requires some other screen technology that I haven’t used with this image.

          But you’re right, I might just be wired wrong.

            As the other commenter mentioned, if you’re on a monitor, the effect isn’t nearly as strong if you’re shaking your head vs shaking a phone. It’s still detectable, but I think that’s because I know what to look for. If I didn’t know what to expect, the effect is subtle enough that I don’t think I’d have seen it. This was also from shaking my head in front of my phone screen. I think the size of the image will make a difference (where smaller is better).

        No, it’s just a subtle illusion. My guess is that the visual cortex processes simple shapes first, and then fills in color, so it processes the border quickly, and the complex, color image of the frog more slowly. When I shake the screen, the image of the frog seems to lag behind the motion of the border ever so slightly. It took me a while to notice the effect.

          I think it also indicates that what we “see” (in our mind) isn’t necessarily chronologically coherent. Some parts of your field of vision might be from earlier or later points in time compared to others. As in it can still be processing the previous frame when it starts displaying the simplest parts of a newer frame.

      Correct. The border is the Nam-Shub of Enki translated into binary. There is no Frog in the picture.
