Comment on It's Wednesday, my dudes!
SwingingTheLamp@piefed.zip 1 day agoNo, it’s just a subtle illusion. My guess is that the visual cortex processes simple shapes first, and then fills in color, so it processes the border quickly, and the complex, color image of the frog more slowly. When I shake the screen, the image of the frog seems to lag behind the motion of the border ever so slightly. It took me a while to notice the effect.

I think it also indicates that what we “see” (in our mind) isn’t necessarily chronologically coherent. Some parts of your field of vision might be from earlier or later points in time compared to others. As in it can still be processing the previous frame when it starts displaying the simplest parts of a newer frame.
