Light Movement Illusion

The Light Movement Illusion occurs when the motion of lights or glowing objects appears different from their actual movement, often creating the sensation of movement where there is none or altering perceived direction. This happens because our visual system interprets changes in brightness, position, or flickering patterns as motion due to the way our brains process dynamic light cues. It’s a perceptual trick that reveals how our perception of movement can be influenced by visual stimuli, demonstrating the complex interaction between sensory input and brain interpretation in our visual experience.
