My brain keeps telling me the boxes move. But they supposedly don't.

An optical illusion dear boy.

But do the boxes actually move or not?

What part of this is making my brain think they move?

 

[unloadonme]

No, that's why it's an illusion!

If you expand the image and concentrate on a particular spot, you'll see that it's fixed.

At first I thought it was the arrows in the boxes prompting me to see the direction of movement but when I covered them up with my thumbs it made no difference. It might be that the flashing is "phased" differently to give different effects, like those blinking and pulsing fairy lights that do tricks and make people have seizures.

Help! Get me my Phenobarbital!

as Essex Boy states. It s the motion of the flashing lights that gives the illusion that the boxes are moving. But no the boxes are moving.

Is it a bad time for a sick joke?

What do you do when an epileptic falls in your swimming pool?


Throw your laundry in.

It would be an only slightly better explanation if it hadn't been narrated by the next available customer service representative.
