"Professor Wolf doesn’t have a definite explanation for the checkerboard, though he suggests that it may be that you’re looking at your own visual cortex, the part of the brain which handles vision. A potential explanation for the variation in square size, which presumably went from small in the center to large at the edges of your field of vision, is that you’re seeing the organization of the visual cortex.  It may be that the small, central squares represent detail-intensive cells, while the larger edge squares represent “big-picture” cells.  While you may think it’d be great if the visual cortex had the detail-intensive cells throughout the whole field of vision, your brain just couldn’t handle that much information." small squares in the middle, larger near the edge.
