  2. Orientation column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientation_column

    Pinwheel formations in the primary visual cortex with singularities in the center. Each color represents an orientation column of a specific line phase. Adapted image from fMRI studies. [11] Using 2D optical techniques, pinwheel formations (also known as whorls) of orientation columns were discovered.

  3. Wagon-wheel effect - Wikipedia

    They also showed that illusory motion reversal occurs with non-uniform and non-periodic stimuli (for example, a spinning belt of sandpaper), which also cannot be compatible with discrete sampling. Kline and Eagleman proposed instead that the effect results from a "motion during-effect", meaning that a motion after-effect becomes superimposed on ...

    Colour distribution of a Newton disk. The Newton disk, also known as the disappearing color disk, is a well-known physics experiment with a rotating disk with segments in different colors (usually Newton's primary colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, commonly known by the abbreviation ROYGBIV) appearing as white (or off-white or grey) when it's spun rapidly about its axis.

  7. Thaumatrope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thaumatrope

    A spinning rectangular thaumatrope with the alternating letters of the name "Victoria" on each side, showed the full word with the letters at two different distances from the observer's eye. If the two strings of the thaumatrope are attached to the same side of the card the thickness of the card accounts for a small difference in the distances ...

  8. Euler's Disk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_Disk

    A spinning/rolling disk ultimately comes to rest quite abruptly, the final stage of motion being accompanied by a whirring sound of rapidly increasing frequency. As the disk rolls, the point of rolling contact describes a circle that oscillates with a constant angular velocity ω {\displaystyle \omega } .
