Visual Illusions of Movement.
The autokinetic, oculogyral, and oculogravic illusions a l l involve apparent motion orI t i s shown that these illusionsdisplacement of the visual f ield with respect to an observer.are related to involuntary eye movements, occurring either spontaneously as i n the autokineticillusion, or in response to the special stimuli associated with the other two illusions. Duringfixa...
متن کاملDo visual illusions probe the visual brain? Illusions in action without a dorsal visual stream.
Visual illusions have been shown to affect perceptual judgements more so than motor behaviour, which was interpreted as evidence for a functional division of labour within the visual system. The dominant perception-action theory argues that perception involves a holistic processing of visual objects or scenes, performed within the ventral, inferior temporal cortex. Conversely, visuomotor action...
متن کاملIllusions can warp visual space.
Our perception of the space around us is not veridical. It has been reported that the systematic errors in our perception of visual space can be described by a reasonably well-behaving space (the resulting space is approximately projective and complies with an affine geometry). The evidence for this is that the perceived centre of a set of points is independent of the order of the steps taken t...
متن کاملAntigravity hills are visual illusions.
Antigravity hills, also known as spook hills or magnetic hills, are natural places where cars put into neutral are seen to move uphill on a slightly sloping road, apparently defying the law of gravity. We show that these effects, popularly attributed to gravitational anomalies, are in fact visual illusions. We re-created all the known types of antigravity spots in our laboratory using tabletop ...
متن کاملUntangling spatial from temporal illusions.
The flash-lag effect (FLE) is a phenomenon in which a flash aligned with a moving object appears to spatially lag behind the stimulus. In their recent review of the FLE, Krekelberg and Lappe conclude that ‘the influence of differential latencies on the perception of position of moving objects... is undeniable’ [1]. They refer to the hypothesis that differences in physiological latencies might t...
