Italian translation: rimbalzare dell'attenzione

English term or phrase: flipping

If we either reduce one kind of contrast, such as lighting, or make the foreground occupy less space, then this introduces some confusion, and the eye has to move repeatedly between one plane and the other in order to work out the relationship. The result is ***flipping***—a to-and-fro change of attention—and this can have a special value because it can hold the attention longer.

Il significato è chiaro ("the eye has to move repeatedly between one plane [della fotografia] and the other"; "a to-and-fro change of attention"), ma cerco un traducente conciso.

Grazie.

movimento a scatti (di esplorazione dell'immagine)/esplorazione a scatti/a balzi/discontinua

Explanation:
Anche se sembra di poterlo fare con "la coda dell'occhio" di guardare entrambe le cose, sappiamo che NON E' possibile, proprio per il funzionamento di movimento a scatti dell'occhio umano nell'esplorare le immagini.
