What does it mean, I wonder, if one doesn't see the
illusion...? (My significant other assures me that he sees only a
relatively interesting still...?)

This might be a function of the distance at which the image is viewed.
When I first presented this illusion via an overhead students saw no
movement. when I moved the OH closer to the screen so that the image was

Dear TIPSters,
A couple weeks ago when someone asked about sprucing up history of
psychology couses, I quipped that there were "loads" of films on the
history of psychology and then went on to other things. Naturally, a
few people asked me to name some these films. In point of fact, a

And I don't know, Colleen, except that it seems to me that the illusion is less effective when printed or projected

I showed it to my wife, too, and she saw it. So far, though, I have
not experienced any (apparent) movement. The notion of individual
differences in illusory movement is intrigiung. Age-related? (I'm

I think this illusion relies heavily on the high-frequency transitions
between adjacent segments in the circles. If you filter out the
high-frequency info. (by, say, squinting) much of the movement disappears.
