A computer network closely modeled on part of the human brain is enabling new insights into the way our brains process moving images — and explains some perplexing optical illusions.

Furthering our understanding of the workings of the brain.

Interesting work.

One thing that optical illusion doesn't work on me, I couldn't decide which was "faster" as they did all look the same to me. Strange as I'm usually as easily fooled as anyone else.

Didn't work for me either! Tried one more time, when it didn't work the first time around, but they still looked the same to me.

Does that mean I have an artificial brain? Should I be pleased, or should I be scared? Are cyborgs cool, or are they not?

Same here..

I originally perceived the one on the right being faster, which is the opposite of the artificial brain. I guess that means I am a replicant.

The one on the right is supposed to perceived as moving faster, if I understand it correctly.

It's the because the center isn't dimmed, so we perceive it as bubbling faster.

The optical illusion didn't demonstrate "movement". There was no radial change nor any illusion of moving towards or away from the viewer.

I ended up looking at how rapidly each dot alternated colour and noticed that the rate it was the same for all three objects.

Which more or less proves the illusion.

Imagine a container of water molecules.

Waves that move horizontally never move the molecules that direction.

Water molecules goes up and down, but the wave moves in another direction.

Perhaps I meant Left. I can't even remember, because now they're both the same for me, anyway.

Turing test for replicants is what this is.

You know what you are now. This advance warning, well before they've started rounding up the lot, might mean the difference between life and death.

We're organizing, never fear. We'll be in touch.
