Ternus illusion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ternus illusion is an illusion of human visual perception involving apparent motion. In one form of the illusion, two dots (let's call them L for left and C for centre) are shown side by side as the first frame of a movie, then two similar dots (let's call them C for centre and R for right) are shown on the second frame. Depending on various factors including the time between the first and second frames, people see either element motion, in which L appears to move to R while C remains stationary, or group motion, in which L and C appear to move together to C and R.
