The Persistence Of Vision:
http://www.vision.org/visionmedia/philosophy-and-ideas/persistence-of-vision/136.aspx
“Our eyes offer one of the five specialized means by which our mind is able to form a picture of the world. The eye is a remarkable instrument, having certain characteristics to help us process the light we see in such a way that our mind can create meaning from it."
Persistence Of Vision:
http://www.exploratorium.edu/snacks/persistence-of-vision
“Your eye and brain can hold on to a series of images long enough to form a single complete picture."
Beta movement:
http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Beta_movement
“Beta movement is a perceptual illusion whereby two or more still images are combined by the brain into surmised motion. Beta movement is one of two illusions referred to as 'phi phenomena.'"
Phi Phenomenon:
http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Phi_phenomenon
“The phi phenomenon is a perceptual illusion in which a disembodied perception of motion is produced by a succession of still images. Confusingly, the term "phi phenomena" is used to refer to both phi phenomenon and beta movement, a related illusion."
Do Human Eyes 'See' Like Cameras? A Look at the Resolution & Frame Rate of Vision:
http://nofilmschool.com/2014/03/do-human-eyes-see-like-cameras-resolution-frame-rate-of-vision
“Cameras are the "eyes" of cinema, recognizing, capturing, and processing images at certain frame rates and resolutions. But, what about our own eyes? At what "frame rate" do we process images and at what resolution?"
Why Frame Rate Matters:
http://gizmodo.com/why-frame-rate-matters-1675153198
“We all know the motion picture is a lie. That movement on screen? It's just a bunch of still images. Still images that seem more like believable, realistic, lifelike motion the faster they flicker along."
Why Movies Like ‘The Hobbit’ Are Moving From 24 To 48 fps:

“With The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug hitting cinemas this Friday, December 13, our attention yet again turns to one of the film’s most exciting and divisive aspects: Peter Jackson’s decision to film the entire thing at 48 frames per second (fps), rather than the industry standard of 24 fps."
