Non-veridical size perception of expanding and contracting objects
Vision Research, 1999 Observers were presented with various types of stimulus expansion and contraction which resulted in marked misperceptions of size. Firstly, the perceived size of an object which is changing in size is shown to be biased in the direction of the size change. Secondly, expansion or contraction of the internal texture of objects is found to influence their

Non-veridical visual motion perception immediately after saccades
Vision Research, 2001 It is widely assumed that combining the eye movement vector with the motion vector of the retinal image is both sufficient and necessary for recovering the direction and speed of visual motion. Here, we report that execution of a saccadic (rapid) eye movement in the dark systematically biased subsequent perceptual judgment of the direction of visual ...

Exceptions are usually only made for clinical conditions associated with hallucinations, where objectively non-existent percepts can influence ...
