A
large drum, painted on the inside with black and white
vertical stripes, rotates slowly about its axis. When
a visitor focuses on the stripes, the eyes will involuntarily
follow the stripes momentarily and then snap back. This
can be observed by either watching another visitors
eyes or closing one eye and placing one finger gently
against the eyelid to feel the movement. The involuntary
motion can be stopped by focusing on a finger near the
drum, but then the stripes are blurred.
