[QUOTE="Droberts, post: 1951476, member: 13839"] i did a science experiment on that in high school. was able to show that what i called the "frame rate perception" of humans are different from person to person using a variable speed fan. crank it up till the user sees stationary blades & measure the rpm. certain medications were shown to greatly decrease or greatly increase the perception rate.. but the most interesting thing of all is that with practice a user could mentally make the stationary blade effect move one direction, stop & move it back the other direction voluntarily. with training its possible to work that like a muscle and literally increase your "frame rate perception" even though human eye/brain isnt really "frames". i theorized that by "exercising" that "muscle", for lack of a better term, had a much farther reaching effect than just vision. try it next time you find yourself staring at a cieling fan running at just the right RPM. on average it took about 30 minutes to get to where people in the study could control it. its like learning to move a limb for the first time. if you manage to pull it off, watch it while you drink a lot of your preferred alcoholic beverage. pretty far out stuff imo.
