Motion-induced blindness, also known as Bonneh's illusion, is a visual illusion in which a large pattern of continuous motion causes small, steady, stationary dots to disappear from a viewer's perception while the viewer fixates on the center of the display. The effect was first reported by Bonneh, Cooperman and Sagi in 2001, whose original experiments used a moving swarm of blue dots on a virtual sphere alongside a few small stationary yellow dots. In their study, one or more of the stationary dots vanished from perception for brief, randomly timed intervals after about ten seconds of viewing.
