In homogeneous backgrounds, a single object appears to move around {autokinetic effect} {keyhole illusion} [Zeki et al., 1993].
If line or spot is moving, and another line or spot flashes at same place, the other seems behind first {flash-lag effect} [Eagleman and Sejnowski, 2000] [Krekelberg and Lappe, 2001] [Nijhawan, 1994] [Nijhawan, 1997] [Schlag and Schlag-Rey, 2002] [Sheth et al., 2000]. Flashed object seems slower than moving object.
Rotating two-dimensional objects makes them appear three-dimensional {kinetic depth effect} [Zeki et al., 1993].
Alternating visual-stimulus pairs show apparent movement at special times and separations {Korte's law} [Zeki et al., 1993].
After continuously observing moving objects, when movement stops, stationary objects appear to move {motion aftereffect, illusion}.
If screen has stationary color spots and has randomly moving complementary-color spots behind them, mind sees stationary spots first, then does not see them, then sees them again, and so on {motion-induced blindness} [Bonneh et al., 2001].
Spokes in turning wheels seem to turn in direction opposite from real motion {wagon-wheel illusion} [Gho and Varela, 1988] [Wertheimer, 1912] [Zeki et al., 1993].
If people view scenes with flows, when they look at stationary scenes, they see flow {waterfall illusion}. Waterfall illusion can be a series of still pictures [Cornsweet, 1970].
