Johann Joseph Oppel (1855) on Geometrical–Optical Illusions: A Translation and Commentary [PDF]
i-Perception, 2017 The term geometrical–optical illusions was coined by Johann Joseph Oppel (1815–1894) in 1855 in order to distinguish spatial distortions of size and orientation from the broader illusions of the senses.

Why Does Rubin's Vase Differ Radically From Optical Illusions? Framing Effects Contra Cognitive Illusions [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Many researchers use the term “context” loosely to denote diverse kinds of reference points. The issue is not about terminology but rather about the common conflation of one kind of reference points, such as rules of perception, which is responsible for ...

Deciding on Optical Illusions: Reduced Alpha Power in Body Dysmorphic Disorder [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2022 Background: Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a psychiatric disorder characterized by excessive preoccupation with imagined defects in appearance. Optical illusions induce illusory effects that distort the presented stimulus, thus leading to ambiguous ...

Involvement of the Extrageniculate System in the Perception of Optical Illusions: A Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Research on the neural processing of optical illusions can provide clues for understanding the neural mechanisms underlying visual perception. Previous studies have shown that some visual areas contribute to the perception of optical illusions such as ...

Impossible Movement Illusions [PDF]
i-Perception, 2018 Past research has used the phi phenomenon to create the illusion of one object moving through another. This article presents three optical illusions that are conceptually similar, yet little known within academic psychology.

Illusions of causality: How they bias our everyday thinking and how they could be reduced [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 Illusions of causality occur when people develop the belief that there is a causal connection between two events that are actually unrelated. Such illusions have been proposed to underlie pseudoscience and superstitious thinking, sometimes leading to ...

Perception of optical illusions in ungulates: insights from goats, sheep, guanacos and llamas [PDF]
Animal CognitionOptical illusions have long been used in behavioural studies to investigate the perceptual mechanisms underlying vision in animals. So far, three studies have focused on ungulates, providing evidence that they may be susceptible to some optical illusions,

Psychophysical measurement of perceived motion flow of naturalistic scenes [PDF]
iScience, 2023 Summary: The neural and computational mechanisms underlying visual motion perception have been extensively investigated over several decades, but little attempt has been made to measure and analyze, how human observers perceive the map of motion vectors,

A psychophysically-tuned computational model of human primary visual cortex produces geometric optical illusions [PDF]
Current Research in NeurobiologyGeometric optical illusions (GOIs) are mismatches between physical stimuli and perception. GOIs provide an access point to study the interplay between sensation and perception, Yet, there is relatively scant quantitative investigation of the extent to ...
