Indeed, no stupid questions [In reply to] Can't Post

Neuroscientists are still working this stuff out, and they haven't gotten much further with tangible measurements than flies' eyes (and they change their minds frequently.)

In Reply To
But I do have another question ... if we automatically create blur when things move too fast in real life, why wouldn't we perceive/create blur if the things we are looking at in real life are things on a screen? I know that the blur we see in reality isn't "really there". What about the screen capture stops a person from creating the blur as usual? Is it dependent on how we have trained our eyes to see? Is that the whole point of this comment I am replying to?

Picture the case of someone's hand moving across your field of vision in the period of one second. After the first 48th of a second, it will have moved a short distance across that field. In real life, during that 48th of a second, the person's hand would have been in an infinite number of intervening positions, and your eye would have received all of them as sensory stimulusŤ. Your brain cannot process all of that information; it captures a certain amount of it as recognizable images of the hand, and the rest it interprets as a blur (which is greatly oversimplifying, but that's the long-and-short of it.)

Now, if you were filming that same hand moving across the the camera's frame at 48fps, the same infinite number of positions that the hand passed through in that first 48th of a second would be reduced to two still images separated by a given amount of space. The infinite information that occurred between those two frames is not present for your eye to receive as stimulus, and your brain will not supply it or trick itself into thinking it is present.

Man is but an ass if he go about to expound this dream.
