Kinetic depth effect

Being able to identify a structure from a motion stimulus through the human visual system was shown by Hans Wallach and O'Connell[who?]

In addition, an individual's ability to realize the kinetic depth effect conclusively shows that the visual system can independently figure the structure from motion problem.

For instance, the rotating circles illusion[5] and the rotating dots visualization[6] (which is similar in principle to the projected wireframe demonstration mentioned above) rely strongly on the previous knowledge that objects (or parts thereof) further from the observer appear to move more slowly than those that are closer.

An example of such a situation is the art installment "The Analysis of Beauty",[7] by the Disinformation project, created as a tribute to William Hogarth's concept of the Serpentine Line (which was presented in his homonymous book).

Data from an experiment showed that subjects experienced changes more when the image was being processed by their left hemisphere which controls the right side of the visual field.
