The color phi phenomenon doesn’t work for or anyone I’ve asked
Were you using this demo? If so, I set the times to 1000,30,60, demagnified as much as possible, and then stood 20 feet away from my computer to “demagnify” even more. I might have also moved the dots a bit closer. I think I got some motion illusion?
I’m skeptical of the hypothesis that the color phi phenomenon is just BS. It doesn’t seem like that kind of psych result. I think it’s more likely that this applet is terribly designed.

Yes—and yeah, fair enough. Although-
I think I got some motion illusion?
-remember that the question isn’t “did I get the vibe that something moves”. We already know that a series of frames gives the vibe that something moves. The question is whether you remember having seen the red circle halfway across before seeing the blue circle.
