The Freezing Rotation Illusion [PDF]
, 2007 The freezing rotation illusion arises when a figure is continuously rotating in front of a back and forth rotating ground. The term “freezing rotation” designates the decrease in the perceived rotation speed of a figure when the figure and ...

Touch engages visual spatial contextual processing
Scientific Reports, 2018 The spatial context in which we view a visual stimulus strongly determines how we perceive the stimulus. In the visual tilt illusion, the perceived orientation of a visual grating is affected by the orientation signals in its surrounding context ...

Does my step look big in this? A visual illusion leads to safer stepping behaviour. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND: Tripping is a common factor in falls and a typical safety strategy to avoid tripping on steps or stairs is to increase foot clearance over the step edge.

Tuning and disrupting the brain – modulating the McGurk illusion with electrical stimulation
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014 In the so-called McGurk illusion, when the synchronized presentation of the visual stimulus /ga/ is paired with the auditory stimulus /ba/, people in general hear it as /da/.

Behavioral examination of the role of the primary visual cortex in the perceived size representation
Scientific Reports, 2023 Previous research has shown that neural activity in the primary visual cortex (V1) and V1 surface area may be linked with subjective experience of size illusions.

Journal of Vision, 2010 In many visual illusions, the perceived features of an object such as its size or orientation are influenced by nearby objects. In contrast, the presence of nearby, static objects often enhances the perceived spatial location of another object. Here we present a type of visual illusion in which the presence of a static object alters another object's ...

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017 The closer a line extends toward a surrounding frame, the longer it appears. This is known as a framing effect. Over 70 years ago, Teodor Künnapas demonstrated that the shape of the visual field itself can act as a frame to influence the perceived length

A first- and second-order motion energy analysis of peripheral motion illusions leads to further evidence of "feature blur" in peripheral vision. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Anatomical and physiological differences between the central and peripheral visual systems are well documented. Recent findings have suggested that vision in the periphery is not just a scaled version of foveal vision, but rather is relatively poor at ...

Dentists make larger holes in teeth than they need to if the teeth present a visual illusion of size. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND: Health care depends, in part, on the ability of a practitioner to see signs of disease and to see how to treat it. Visual illusions, therefore, could affect health care.
