Metal Print : Peripheral drift illusion
Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Peripheral drift illusion
Peripheral drift illusion. When the image is viewed in the peripheral vision (indirectly, whilst looking outside of the pattern) it appears to rotate. When observed directly the movement stops. This phenomenon is not fully understood but it is believed that it may be partially a result of rapid intermittent eye movement, or saccade

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing phenomenon known as the Peripheral Drift Illusion. As you gaze at this intricate pattern, something extraordinary happens when you shift your focus away from it. When viewed indirectly in your peripheral vision, a remarkable illusion unfolds before your eyes - the image appears to rotate effortlessly. However, as soon as you attempt to examine it directly, the movement abruptly halts. This peculiar optical trick has puzzled scientists and psychologists alike for years. While its exact mechanisms remain elusive, researchers speculate that rapid intermittent eye movements called saccades may play a role in creating this mind-bending effect. The beauty of this photograph lies not only in its visual intrigue but also in its ability to challenge our understanding of perception and cognition. It serves as a reminder that our senses can sometimes deceive us and that there is much more to discover about the complex workings of our brain. With elements rooted in neuroscience and psychology, this image exemplifies how science intersects with art by capturing an enigmatic moment where reality seems to warp right before our very eyes. So take a moment to immerse yourself in this fascinating visual journey into the depths of human perception – let your peripheral vision unlock an astonishing world of illusions!
