Weird POV effect
I made this!
Epic de-lurk to post this video what I made. It's blown up a bit in the last week but I remembered this place and thought some of you would be interested. Enjoy!

Fascinating.
For me the lines disappear instantly, but there is some slight persistence with the cube, but then I blink and it’s gone.

That is a very cool example of visual masking.

I don't know that anyone's done what you have there before though!
Have you tried it with dithered animations/video clips? Now I really want to give it a try :)

Yes, I've been playing with different effects - I've done a Bad Apple video with higher-resolution and more levels of gray that works quite well. Should be out tomorrow.

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.
