No, it’s just a subtle illusion. My guess is that the visual cortex processes simple shapes first, and then fills in color, so it processes the border quickly, and the complex, color image of the frog more slowly. When I shake the screen, the image of the frog seems to lag behind the motion of the border ever so slightly. It took me a while to notice the effect.
I understand it’s an optical illusion, but I know that some optical illusions take advantage of a screen with a high refresh rate or a low refresh rate or some unique aspect of OLED or something. I’m just wondering if this particular optical illusion requires some other screen technology that I haven’t used with this image.
What devilry is this?

Does this require a certain type of screen or something? This image has never done anything for me.

Also not for my mother. Same screen.
When on a phone, rapidly moving in a circular direction helps!
Optical illusion, maybe you have unique wiring in your visual cortex

But you’re right, I might just be wired wrong.
Are you on a pc monitor or mobile? That probably matters
