** Related is an effect called "velocitization" that players of games with note tracks scrolling toward the player (''Frequency'', ''Amplitude'', ''Guitar Hero'', ''Rock Band'') will notice after playing a song.

It's not exactly the same thing but a more short-term phenomenon of your eyes themselves adjusting to constant movement in a certain dimension. When you look at a surface that isn't moving towards you, your eyes still try to compensate for the previous situation, leading to the feeling that it is in fact moving/warping ''away'' from you. |
