True story: I was working on a hospital mental health unit during the time that O. J. Simpson was being tried for murder in California. One of our visitors one night was a dead ringer for Lance Ito, the judge in the case. He said that the TV in his house was on CNN because his wife was following the trial. Whenever the camera pointed at Judge Ito, his kids ran toward the television yelling "Daddy, daddy!"

The silent GIF shows what appears to be three pylons jumping rope. But the camera shakes just as the middle one lands, which some viewers believe they can hear or feel.

Dr. DeBruine, from the Institute of Neuroscience & Psychology at the University of Glasgow -- according to The Telegraph -- heard from more than 280,000 people by Tuesday, with a large majority saying they thought they heard a thudding sound.

“My gut says the camera shake is responsible for the entire effect,” said Twitter user Jeff Weiss. “Anything that shook the camera like that, would probably make the “thud” sound.”

Another user, Andrew Kemendo said, “The brain is “expecting/predicting” what is coming visually and then fires a version of what it expects across the relevant senses. Also explains why some might “feel” a physical shake.”

In an interview with the BBC, DeBruine seems to be as stumped as everyone else.

“I don’t know why some people hear it very clearly, others only feel it, and others perceive nothing at all,” she said. “I thought some of the vision scientists I follow would be able to explain it right away, but it seems like there are several plausible explanations and no clear consensus.”

traffic sign

Police in New Jersey say a woman was drunk when she continued driving with a mass transit sign sticking out of the roof of her car.

The 52-year-old was pulled over Saturday on Route 46 in South Hackensack when police noticed something odd. Police say the woman had a New Jersey Transit sign protruding through the roof of her car.

Police say the woman didn’t even know the sign was there.

South Hackensack police say the sign got stuck in the vehicle when the driver was in Secaucus before she was pulled over.

The woman has been charged with driving while intoxicated and careless driving.
