Why is this on HN? It's garbage.
The headline implies the brain has a global "framerate" implying it's synchronous. That's most definitely not the case. The strobe light and shutter examples are examples of the light and shutter having specific refresh rate, and has nothing at all to do with our brain.
So...
1. We have a study.
2. Then we have a mainstream press (New Yorker) article written by someone barely understanding the study.
3. And then we have this cheap blog post, whose author briefly mentions the New Yorker article, as an excuse to feed us a bunch of contrived nonsense that ties the study (as if) to some random meme GIFs and videos.
I think we're better than this, HN.
