persistane of vision

Persistance of vision.

Persistance of vision is were your brain is being tricked as it believes it is watching a video when in fact you are watching a series of still images that have been taken after each other so when you play all the pictures after each other so it is presented as a video. Here is an example of persistence of vision. In this video a man has a thaumotrope and on each side is a slightly different picture of a man of a bicycle so when he spins the thaumotrope its tricks your brain into thinking you are watching the man ride the bicycle as each picture that there is in the thaumotrope is ever so sightly different. So if it was turned less than 7 seconds it would appear as still images.
