Think of the the stack of 2D images like a flip book.The way flip books work is that from one page to another there is a small change in the drawing, and several small changes in a row create the action in the flip book. The 2D image you see in EyeWire is like one single page from a flip book. The 2D is static, but when you scroll through the slices you can see the change from one slice of retina (or page of a flip book) to another. The idea is that if you follow the shape of one neuron from one 2D slice to the next, coloring each piece as you go, you can eventually discern the shape of the neuron in the 3D. Each piece you color in the 2D builds upon the previous one. It's like stacking blocks, each layer of blocks is flat, but as you continue stacking the blocks on top of each other you eventually get a 3D shape.
