A thaumatrope is a simple optical toy that creates the illusion of motion through persistence of vision. It consists of a disk with images printed on either side, attached to two strings. When the strings are twirled quickly, the images on both sides blend together in the viewer's perception, making it seem as though the images are moving or combining into one cohesive picture. This effect demonstrates the brain's ability to retain an image for a fraction of a second after it has disappeared.
