You can find this illusion and others at the psychologist/artist's web site: http://www.ritsumei.ac.jp/~akitaoka/index-e.html And I don't know, Colleen, except that it seems to me that the illusion is less effective when printed or projected from a transparency. But on a computer monitor, I don't know of anyone (except your significant other) who has not experienced some motion.
