An image featuring small, connected gray squares appears to move right before your eyes, but the figures on the screen are actually static - you see them as shifting because your brain is being tricked by illusionary motion.The image challenges viewers to look past the illusion and stop the moving squares for at least 10 seconds, but this seems to be a skill that not everyone can master. This is because the optical illusion arranges the squares with luminance-based edges that artificially activate motion-detecting neurons in the visual pathways, which leads to our eyes reading the change in light as motion.
