Your Brain Thinks the Image Moves

Your brain tricks you into thinking image is moving

What it means

A blurry, nearly still indoor image briefly shows an indistinct figure or object behind glass before fading into darkness. The caption jokes that the viewer’s brain invents motion, while The Animals’ dramatic rock song “The House of the Rising Sun” makes the illusion feel ominous and hypnotic. It works as a reaction to optical illusions, visual confusion, or anything that seems to move when it does not.
