There's a link to the putative source at this web site
https://soranews24.com/2020/02/25/brain-breaking-optical-illusion-from-japan-is-a-lie-within-a-lie-truly-amazing

Here's a Matlab live script with an explanation, attached. It can be
re-saved as an m-file, or just use it as pseudocode. It shows how the
stimulus changes over time. The actual cause of the motion is described in
the three references at the top of the script. I don't think one needs to
appeal to reverse phi here, just spatial-frequency-selective motion
detectors. Since the stimulus is not periodic at the same fine scale as the
lines within it, it can engage low-spatial-frequency mechanisms.

Best,
Ben
