Foresight linked to optical illusions?

Researcher Mark Changizi believes he has explained the “why” of optical illusions. They’re related to the brain’s visual system’s one-second “tape delay,” a delay that allows visual and motor systemsto be coordinated.

Scientists have long known about the slight sync difference between visual and motor systems but debated how the brain “fixed” it.

How’s this affect optical illusions?

Changizi notes that many of the most common ones are motion-related in their effects and hence, the “tape delay” causes the illusion.

It’s interesting, but I think he’s stretching.
