Eh? Move your hand across the desk. You see that as a series of snapshots?
Move a noisy object across. You don't see a continuous picture with a
continuous soundtrack?
Let me give you an example of how impressive I think the brain's powers here
are. I've been thinking about metaphor and the superimposition/
transformation of two images involved. "The clouds cried" - that sort of
thing. Then another one came up: "bicycle kick." Now technically, I think
that's awesome - because to arrive at it, the brain has to superimpose two
*movie* clips.
Look at the football kick:

and then look at the action of cycling. (In fact that superimposition of
clouds and eyes crying is also of movie clips - and so are a vast amount of
metaphors - but I hadn't really noticed it).
Try and tell me how current visual systems might make that connection.
And I would assert - and am increasingly confident - that the grammar of
language - how we put words together in whatever form - is based on cutting
together internal *movies* in our head - not still images,but movies.
They don't teach moviemaking in AI courses do they?

There doesn't seem to be much evidence for this. People with damage
to MT, or certain types of visual migrane, see the world as a slow
jerky series of snapshots (like looking at a webcam with a low frame
rate). The temporal resolution of consciousness may actually be quite
slow - on the 0.5 second time frame as originally described by Grey
Walter.
