FlaSh-Lag Effect


-a visual illusion wherein a flash and a moving object that appear in the same location are perceived to be displaced from one another (mackay, 1958; nijhawan, 1994). several explanations for this simple illusion have been explored in the neuroscience literature.

-the illusion has been tested in many aspects, through the game of baseball, and how flashes may affect the batter’s perception of the ball.

– “flash-lag” was also the name of a relatively well known console and pc gamer from the years 1999-2004.
chris rock: wow man did you just see how displaced that object was.

jim thome: nah man, the flash just made you think it was displaced, that’s called the flash-lag effect
