Persistence of vision

What is the persistence of vision 
Persistence of vision is were your brain is tricked into believing that the images that you are looking at are moving when in fact they are still images and its tricking your mind. it is like an optical illusion

  1. Nathan: Persistence of Vision does work in same sense of tricking the brain as an optical illusion - although it is always a series of still images in sequence that give the illusion of movement. Your example should refer to Persistence of Vision rather than an Optical Illusion. At this level, we would expect more depth and detail, such as:

    Persistence of vision should be more accurately described as "when a sequence of still images each with very slight successive changes is played back, the brain tends to fill in the gaps between each image, and sees the sequence as a continuous movement rather than as a series of still images. This is the method used in animation and video to give the illusion of movement. Persistence of Vision works with images between 8 images or frames per second through to 30 images or frames per second."
