Reisberg ("Cognition") on akinetopsia, a condition which disrupts motion perception: "What's it like to have this disorder? L.M. complained… that it was hard to cross the street because she couldn't tell which of the cars in view were moving and which ones were parked."

Human brain is incredible.
Even having unfixed bugs.

"people were suddenly here or there but I have not seen them moving" that's straight up horror movie scenarios :/

Whoa, I have never heard of this disorder! Sounds like a problem with image processing? Like getting still frames with long delays, instead of continuous millisecond-by-millisecond updates?

There’s a lot of interesting ones like this in Oliver Sacks’ books like “The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat”. Highly recommend.
