I don't know why, but I can see one particular bar of ceiling lights in the kitchen coming on in two steps, maybe 100ms apart, where nobody else seems to. But then the first time I saw The Sound Of Music in the cinema, I saw the trees judder between frames in the panning aerial shot in the opening sequence. I don't *think* I've trained myself particularly, but I used to be able to spot missing lines in MSDOS boot-up message sequences ("Ah! *that* line's missing, so you're missing *this* driver").
