> With that said, I'm pretty sure that our perception of noise is not as dissimilar as you suggest. By doing the simple experiment of freezing on a static noise frame and asking participants to tell me whether a pixel was black or white, I'd expect most people to get it right. Right, my suggestion was that the phenomena would occur if the noise exceeded our visual "bandwidth". If you freeze frame then you're giving your mental model enough time to "catch up" with reality, so to speak.
