Just a reminder that Tylenol doesn’t cause autism. Genetics cause autism. It is not a disease or an illness, it cannot be ‘fixed’ and there is no epidemic. It is a neurological difference. Autism can run in families. The shame doesn’t have to.

Always on the run 🏃

Ha! Thanks Craig 😊

010725. Go your own way.

Thank you 🙏

No, all my work is illustrated in Adobe Illustrator and animated in After Effects. 🙏

Thanks very much.

Illustrator and After Effects. Since you asked so nicely 😩

My work here is done 😆

Like this!?

These animations don’t just move—they connect. By leveraging synchronisation and rhythmic disruptions, they create a visceral experience that locks in attention and feels deeply satisfying on a neurological level.

Next time you’re mesmerised by motion design, remember: your brain is moving with it.

With structured rhythm—loops, seamless transitions, and perfectly timed effects—these animations build a physiological and emotional connection with the viewer.

Rhythmic, coordinated movements don’t just look good—they feel good. They:

🧠 Reduce cognitive load, making complex visuals effortless to process.

❤️ Amplify emotional impact, drawing the viewer deeper in.

🧘🏻‍♂️Trigger flow states, similar to those experienced in meditation or intense focus.

Neural Oscillations & the Rhythm of Motion
Watching synchronised movement—whether in animation, dance, or footsteps—triggers neural oscillation alignment. Brainwaves (alpha, beta, gamma) sync with the motion, creating a meditative effect. This is why these designs feel both calming and immersive.

What makes these animations so mesmerizing? Why do they pull viewers in, creating an almost hypnotic effect? The secret lies in neural synchronisation—a phenomenon where the brain aligns with rhythmic motion, enhancing focus, emotion, and engagement.

These are great Matt 👏

Agreed. Well done for developing it, sounds interesting.

Is it easier to use than Newton!? If so sounds great.

Sad to hear this. Also not very surprised.

What! Care to share who this was?
