persistance of vision

persistance of vision is......... a simple but effective trick of the mind to make a group of still images played one after another at a rate of 17frames per second to make the illusion of motion eg, cartoons are one picture followed by another picture of the same image but slightly different.
The mind holds the the first image for a fraction of a second. So repeatedly doing this with slight differecnes in the pictures makes it look like the character is moving and is alive hence "persistance of vision" :)
