Here's a neat optical illusion from Michael Bach, which illustrates the power of "motion binding" in how we perceive things.
This is one of our brain's "shortcuts" that let us process more information using fewer resources than a mechanical brain would require. If we had to observe every bit of information individually before we could form a brain picture, we'd never be able to process it fast enough to drive and stuff.
