The gif frames are "left, off, right, right". I.e. there are only two flashes, but the second lasts twice as long. I assume somebody either didn't understand how gifs work, or they accidentally dropped frames in export.
Note that there is also a version of this that has two flashes and the illusion is a third flash. The gif, as described, is intended to be the version where there are three real flashes.
- SamBam 2y agoThanks for working out the cause of the bug, I thought I was going mad. You mentioned another version of the gif. Is this one we can find somewhere?
- happytoexplain 2y agoI don't know if there's a gif specifically, but here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCpsQ8LZOco https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCpsQ8LZOco
- drooby 2y agoInteresting.. I immediately "didn't get it" because I only saw two flashes. Wow I have such a big brain - I only perceive reality.
- SamBam 2y agoThat's a different one, that's one with auditory beeps and only two flashes. It's not the same as the illusion in the paper.
- happytoexplain 2y agoSome commenters conflated the two, which is why I acknowledged it as a different "version".
- noman-land 2y agoThis has been driving me mad. I thought I was broken.
