Life’s a blur, but we don’t see it that way

  It's worth seeing just how much the eye jiggles. Some of the work on eye-tracking software/hardware[0] which interface with a computer screen to simulate mouse movements is cool. [0] http://www.pygaze.org http://www.pygaze.org

    Pretty amazing natural image stabilization. That the external world is interpreted to be a motionless. Even with all of these tiny micro-movements.

    I can't seem to find -- is there a testable website to play around with this? Or do we need to compile from source?

  Here’s a similar post from a fighter pilot on how to drive safer due to side effects from these optical illusions: https://www.londoncyclist.co.uk/raf-pilot-teach-cyclists/ https://www.londoncyclist.co.uk/raf-pilot-teach-cyclists/

  There's a crossing near my place where there's a large bike shed, with a lot of bicycles parked outside. Somehow, if a cyclist passes by the front of this place, they get "masked out" of my view by my brain, and this almost made me run into them at least twice. Of course, now that I'm aware of this effect, I'm more careful.
