>Human perception does not have a sampling rate. This is why our eyes don't produce weird shutter speed effects like the one shown in the video. There is no shutter and there are no frames.

our visual cortex is sampled at about 200Hz. The pipeline is about 6 stages (similar to the layers in CNN deep net) each taking 5ms, so about 30ms from photons hitting retina to the recognition.

To play with eye shutter speed effect - look at a wheel of the car driving along in a near by lane, and now quickly close and open eyelids, may be couple times in a row, and you will catch a glimpse of the non-spinning wheel still-photo like as in those movies.
