Warning: these visual illusions won’t be comfortable. They may, in fact, have the potential to cause seizures if you’re so prone.
The page says simply, “This page may feel you sick.” (It’s Japanese.) It didn’t. In several places, I didn’t even register the anomalous motion that was supposed to occur. Then it hit me. I could see it, but I was discounting it. The scintillating effect the author talks about is what I see when I have a migraine, only I’m looking at a normal computer screen (or the sidewalk, or the wall, or the inside of my eyelids). I’d just forgotten that most people don’t see that at least once a week.
Stephanie Zvan is one of the hosts for the Minnesota Atheists' radio show and podcast, Atheists Talk. She serves on the board of Secular Woman. She speaks on science and skepticism in a number of venues, including science fiction and fantasy conventions.
Stephanie has been called a science blogger and a sex blogger, but if it means she has to choose just one thing to be or blog about, she's decided she's never going to grow up. In addition to science and sex and the science of sex, you'll find quite a bit of politics here, some economics, a regular short fiction feature, and the occasional bit of concentrated weird.
Oh, and arguments. She sometimes indulges in those as well. But I'm sure everything will be just fine. Nothing to worry about. Nothing at all.
