Do you have the spots to look fast? Hiroshi Ashida of Kyoto University has demonstrated that our perception of speed increases with the density of objects observed, even when actual speed remains the same. In these videos, created as part of a study that appeared recently in the journal i-Perception, the objects on the right appear to move more quickly. These results demonstrate a general rule of how humans perceive movement: perceived speed is overestimated if spatial frequencies increase.
