Does this require a certain type of screen or something? This image has never done anything for me.
Optical illusion, maybe you have unique wiring in your visual cortex
I understand it’s an optical illusion, but I know that some optical illusions take advantage of a screen with a high refresh rate or a low refresh rate or some unique aspect of OLED or something. I’m just wondering if this particular optical illusion requires some other screen technology that I haven’t used with this image.
But you’re right, I might just be wired wrong.
I’m on an OLED and it works. I hope my data point will help you solve this mystery.
As the other commenter mentioned, if you’re on a monitor, the effect isn’t nearly as strong if you’re shaking your head vs shaking a phone. It’s still detectable, but I think that’s because I know what to look for. If I didn’t know what to expect, the effect is subtle enough that I don’t think I’d have seen it. This was also from shaking my head in front of my phone screen. I think the size of the image will make a difference (where smaller is better).
Are you on a pc monitor or mobile? That probably matters
No, it’s just a subtle illusion. My guess is that the visual cortex processes simple shapes first, and then fills in color, so it processes the border quickly, and the complex, color image of the frog more slowly. When I shake the screen, the image of the frog seems to lag behind the motion of the border ever so slightly. It took me a while to notice the effect.
I think it also indicates that what we “see” (in our mind) isn’t necessarily chronologically coherent. Some parts of your field of vision might be from earlier or later points in time compared to others. As in it can still be processing the previous frame when it starts displaying the simplest parts of a newer frame.
It’s like when a video has bad bitrate and parts of the image don’t update properly in fast moving action scenes
When on a phone, rapidly moving in a circular direction helps!
Also not for my mother. Same screen.
I shook the screen too hard and the frog vomited on my keyboard.
:(
Be kind to frog!
O shi
It’s dat boi
Whaddup?
WHAT IS LOVE!
Baby don’t hurt me
No more

The choice of a generation so new that most of them are grandparents by now.
Me watching the frog shake as I continue to cough up my lungs 🥴
The frog dances to the tune of your suffering. Offer more to the frog. Offer.
WHAT IN THE NAME OF EVERYTHING HOLY IS THIS BLACK MAGIC FUCKERY?!? O GOD I CANNOT STOP SHAKING.

So this is how you catch a brain virus
Correct. The border is the Nam-Shub of Enki translated into binary. There is no Frog in the picture.

Shake your head back and forth and the frog pulses.
