ELI5: Does the human eye have a frame rate?

My instinct would be “no” but if that were the case why do certain frame rates feel wrong and why can we observe things spinning in the opposite direction to how they’re actually spinning.

The eye does not see in frames, because life does not come in frames. A frame is only a measurement of something that is created as a still image, and then played quickly enough to create the illusion of movement. Life does not happen like this, there is no "frame" of a moment of something in real life.

Superfast movement illusions, such as wheels appearing to spin backward, do create issues for our eyes, as the brain only processes a certain amount of input at any given time to avoid overload. It will throttle the input at a certain point. But this is demonstrably different than a frame rate.

Anything that says the eyes see at a certain FPS is just an estimation that puts what our eyes do and tries to compare it to a frame rate, which is why there is such disparate numbers and nonconclusions in it.
