This is a normal post Neuroscience
That is very interesting and in response to the question "is there any research on this" I think they answer is "yes". The way your brain processes visual information is essentially integrative, starting from cells in your visual cortex that process on/off signals. These cells - adjacent to one another in the retina feed into higher level cells that are able to perceive the orientation of lines, and a series of further integrative cells can perceive shapes and so on, right up to hypothesised "face cells" that are sufficiently specialised to recognise the integrated signals as faces, or whatever other high level object. The persistence of the lines in the video is presumably an artefact of a series of cells perceiving an on/off state, i.e. change, and perceiving that as a line. Or something.
