"Herein, we show that fish perceive one of themost studied motion illusions, the Rotating Snakes. Fish responded similarly to real and illusory motion."

"These results suggest that some rhesus monkeys display a human-like perception of this motion illusion*, raising the possibility that the neurocognitive systems underlying motion perception may be similar between human and non-human primates."
