Click on this image to start the program for motion adaptation.

Figure 25a. The visual system contains neurons that are very sensitive to motion (in area MT, for example). You can adapt these to give a motion after-effect with the enclosed program.  Run the program and fixate on the middle of the twirling figure for about 10 seconds, then look at your hand, computer keyboard, or other objects to make them squirm for a few seconds.
