Silencing
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Silencing is a visual illusion in which a set of objects that change in luminance, hue, size, or shape appears to stop changing when it moves. It was discovered by Jordan Suchow[2] and George Alvarez[3] of Harvard University, and described in a paper published in Current Biology.[4] Silencing won the Neural Correlate Society's "Best visual illusion of the year contest" in 2011.[5]
