I do research into brain disorders becouse of my dis-let-see-a Wink

I have ran across things that make u go hmmmmmmmmmm....

The spelling game is about how our brains work with "patterns". This is why we can read the words. Our brains have read the words so many times that it automatically puts the letters of the words in the right memory slots via engrams(engrams=A postulated biochemical change (presumably in neural tissue) that represents a memory.

There is also something the brain does called "binding"
Our sight does not work anything like a computer. our eyes do not read
in pixels like CCD. Our eyes have "Cones & Rods" that act like antennas. They pickup the frequency of light "Colors", each color has it's own frequency. The range of what we can see it called the "visible spectrum"

To save processing power our fantastic brain does something remarkable.
It's kind of like the technique of file compression. File compression uses a map, to record the redundancy of patterns replacing the "most redundant"
with a key that is less redundant, the key is placed in the map as the file is compressed. On decompression the keys are return the the "most redundant" patterns via the map in perfect order.

Or brains are doing this trick 24/7 with vision. The brain "Maps" opjects, then recalls the "Keys" within the "Maps" to fourm real time recall of stored
light frequency.

In short, our brains are filling in the blanks. We really see only the outline of objects when we interact with our world, Only about 5%!!! , all the rest is placed there from prats of our brains that have nothing todo with vision. This is called "Binding"

Do the Illusion

Look at the center of the animation and pay careful attention to the direction the red dots appear to moving.

now look at a point about at the edge of the screen and note which direction the red dots are now moving.

What You Should See: All the red dots in the entire animation appear to be moving down, and the green dots appear to be moving up. In reality, the screen is broken into three columns. In the center column, the red dots are indeed moving down, and the green dots up. But in the other two columns, to the left and right of center, the direction of the dots is reversed.

The Illusion Explained: What's happening is an example of a "binding problem" in the brain. Typically, color and movement are thought to be processed by different parts of the brain. But a red ball rolling across a table looks like a red ball rolling across a table because the brain puts the movement and color information together to form a coherent perception.

The brain is trying to do that in this illusion; it's incorrectly binding color and motion so it can tell us that all the red dots are moving in the same direction throughout our "world," in this case the animation display. The illusion breaks down if you stand several feet away from the monitor, and watch the illusion.

amazing

I guess animals site is the same?

sorry to hear you suffer with dyslexia, I found a little saying that made me smile (not in a nasty way)

Dyslexics of the world untie

lol
