Lily Cohen Optical Illusions What Is an Optical Illusion? Lily Cohen Optical Illusions What is an Optical Illusion? • An optical illusion is something that plays tricks on your vision. Optical illusions teach humans how their eyes and brain work together to see. • Since we live in a three-dimensional world, the brain gets clues about depth, shading, lighting, and position to help humans interpret what they see. • When looking at a two-dimensional image, the brain can be fooled because it doesn’t get the same clues as something that has three dimensions. Why Humans Perceive Illusions The Way That They Do? • Your senses gather information and send it to the brain. The brain does not receive this information, therefore it creates your perception of the world. This means that your brain fills in the gaps where there is incomplete information or creates an image that isn’t there by making assumptions and using prior knowledge. • This essentially happens because of evolution. Survival is dependent on fast reactions, which enables the brain to work quickly to piece together whatever bits and fragments that it can get. Basic Illusions Face or vase? • Your brain has to make a decision about which part of the picture is the object and which part is the background. • If you see the faces-- that means your brain is interpreting the rest of the picture not as a vase but as the background. • If you see the vase -- your brain is interpreting the rest of the picture not as faces but as the background. Basic Illusions • The illusion is triggered by eye movements. Even when you stare at a still object, your eyes dart around. • Most of the time, your brain can tell the difference between your eyes moving versus an object moving. • Since there are strong color contrasts and shapes in the illusion, your brain gets confused, which causes your motion sensors switch on. This process allows the image to turn. • The brain is evolved to focus attention on movement because it can be a sign of danger. Danger will automatically trigger a sense of survival. Lateral Inhibition • A process which distinguishes the lines and boundaries of shapes. • The goal of lateral inhibition is to facilitate edge detection. Edge detection is the process of distinguishing where one object ends and the next begins. • When comparing one color with the color farthest to the left, it looks darker, which causes the brain to interpret it that way. • When we take the same color and compare it to the color on the right, it looks lighter, which causes our brain to interpret it this way. Hermann-Hering Grid • Scientists refer to the illusion as a “stimulus lightness contrast illusion”, but philosophers contrast that this is actually a hallucination. • If this were a hallucination, one would be hallucinating the appearance of non-existent grey smudges or dots. • This is often caused because we are viewing a mind-independent object. Ballerina Illusion Explained • The spinning dancer, also known as the silhouette illusion, is a kinetic, bistable (something can be seen in two different perspectives) optical illusion. • Also an example of an “ambiguous illusion” because the images are able to shift from one direction to another based on a person’s perception. • With the spinning dancer, because the image has no depth or directional cues from the surrounding environment, it’s up to the viewer to figure out which direction the silhouette is turning. • This causes the brain to fill in the missing information and assume the direction that the dancer is turning in. Blue & Black or Gold & White? • The brain’s perception can be deceived by the colors of nearby objects and the reflected light falling on the object in focus (the dress). • The brain is actually interpreting the background lighting. • If your brain thinks the dress is more illuminated, you will see blue and black. • If your brain thinks that it is more reflective (referring to its shadows), then the dress appears white and gold. Lilac Chaser • In the lilac chaser illusion, the viewer sees a series of lilac-colored blurry dots arranged in a circle around a focal point. As the viewer stares at the focal point, a few different things are observed. • At first, there will appear to be a space running around the circle of lilac discs. After about 10 to 20 seconds, the viewer will then see a green disc moving around the circle instead of the space. • This is an example of what is known as apparent movement or beta movement. • When we see something in one spot and then again in a slightly different spot, we tend to perceive movement. • Example of a negative afterimage effect. • When a color is presented in the visual field for an extended period of time, an afterimage results. An afterimage involves continuing to see colors briefly even after a stimulus is no longer present. Lilac Chaser Video Recap • Your senses gather information and send it to the brain. The brain doesn’t always receive this information, therefore it creates a perception of the world. • Perception indicates how the brain fills in gaps where there is missing information or creates an image that isn’t even there. • This happens because of evolution. The brain is trained to make quick decisions with whatever information it can get.

  • Optical Illusions “What You See Is Not What You Get”
    Optical Illusions “What you see is not what you get” The purpose of this lesson is to introduce students to basic principles of visual processing. Much of the lesson revolves around the use of visual illusions and interactive demonstrations with the students. The overarching theme of this lesson is that perception and sensation are not necessarily the same, and that optical illusions are a way for us to study the way that our visual system works. Furthermore, there are cells in the visual system that specifically respond to particular aspects of visual stimuli, and these cells can become fatigued. Grade Level: 3-12 Presentation time: 15-30 minutes, depending on which activities are chosen Lesson plan organization: Each lesson plan is divided into three sections: Introducing the lesson, Conducting the lesson, and Concluding the lesson. Each lesson has specific principles with associated figures, class discussion (D), and learning activities (A). This lesson plan is provided by the Neurobiology and Behavior Community Outreach Team at the University of Washington: http://students.washington.edu/watari/neuroscience/k12/LessonPlans.html 1 Materials: Computer to display some optical illusions (optional) Checkerboard illusion: Provided on page 8 or available online with explanation at http://web.mit.edu/persci/people/adelson/checkershadow_illusion.html Lilac chaser movie: http://www.scientificpsychic.com/graphics/ as an animated gif or http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/col_lilacChaser/index.html as Adobe Flash and including scientific explanation

  • Optical Illusions and Effects on Clothing Design1
    International Journal of Science Culture and Sport (IntJSCS) June 2015 : 3(2) ISSN : 2148-1148 Doi : 10.14486/IJSCS272 Optical Illusions and Effects on Clothing Design1 Saliha AĞAÇ*, Menekşe SAKARYA** * Associate Prof., Gazi University, Ankara, TURKEY, Email: [email protected] ** Niğde University, Niğde, TURKEY, Email: [email protected] Abstract “Visual perception” is in the first ranking between the types of perception. Gestalt Theory of the major psychological theories are used in how visual perception realizes and making sense of what is effective in this process. In perception stage brain takes into account not only stimulus from eyes but also expectations arising from previous experience and interpreted the stimulus which are not exist in the real world as if they were there. Misperception interpretations that brain revealed are called as “Perception Illusion” or “Optical Illusion” in psychology. Optical illusion formats come into existence due to factors such as brightness, contrast, motion, geometry and perspective, interpretation of three-dimensional images, cognitive status and color. Optical illusions have impacts of different disciplines within the study area on people. Among the most important types of known optical illusion are Oppel-Kundt, Curvature-Hering, Helzholtz Sqaure, Hermann Grid, Muller-Lyler, Ebbinghaus and Ponzo illusion etc. In fact, all the optical illusions are known to be used in numerous area with various techniques and different product groups like architecture, fine arts, textiles and fashion design from of old. In recent years, optical illusion types are frequently used especially within the field of fashion design in the clothing model, in style, silhouette and fabrics. The aim of this study is to examine the clothing design applications where optical illusion is used and works done in this subject.

Received: 17 May 2019; Accepted: 13 June 2019; Published: 16 June 2019 Abstract: Multistable illusions occur when the visual system interprets the same image in two different ways. We model illusions using dynamic systems based on Wilson networks, which detect combinations of levels of attributes of the image. In most examples presented here, the network has symmetry, which is vital to the analysis of the dynamics. We assume that the visual system has previously learned that certain combinations are geometrically consistent or inconsistent, and model this knowledge by adding suitable excitatory and inhibitory connections between attribute levels. We first discuss 4-node networks for the Necker cube and the rabbit/duck illusion. The main results analyze a more elaborate model for the Necker cube, a 16-node Wilson network whose nodes represent alternative orientations of specific segments of the image. Symmetric Hopf bifurcation is used to show that a small list of natural local geometric consistency conditions leads to alternation between two global percepts: cubes in two different orientations. The model also predicts brief transitional states in which the percept involves impossible rectangles analogous to the Penrose triangle. A tristable illusion generalizing the Necker cube is modelled in a similar manner.

Researchers have attempted to improve anatomical education with the inclusion of three-dimensional visualization, with the prevailing finding that 3D is beneficial to students. However, there is limited research on the relative efficacy of different 3D modalities, including monoscopic, stereoscopic, and autostereoscopic displays. This study analyzes educational performance, confidence, cognitive load, visual-spatial ability, and technology acceptance in participants using autostereoscopic 3D visualization (holograms), monoscopic 3D visualization (3DPDFs), and a control visualization (2D printed images). Participants were randomized into three treatment groups: holograms (n=60), 3DPDFs (n=60), and printed images (n=59). Participants completed a pre-test followed by a self-study period using the treatment visualization. Immediately following the study period, participants completed the NASA TLX cognitive load instrument, a technology acceptance instrument, visual-spatial ability instruments, a confidence instrument, and a post-test. Post-test results showed the hologram treatment group (Mdn=80.0) performed significantly better than both 3DPDF (Mdn=66.7, p=.008) and printed images (Mdn=66.7, p=.007).

Abstract: Both static and dynamic ambiguous stimuli representing human bodies that perform unimanual or unipedal movements are usually interpreted as right-limbed rather than left-limbed, suggesting that human observers attend to the right side of others more than the left one. Moreover, such a bias is stronger when static human silhouettes are presented in the RVF (right visual field) than in the LVF (left visual field), which might represent a particular instance of embodiment. On the other hand, hemispheric-specific rotational biases, combined with the well-known bias to perceive forward-facing figures, could represent a confounding factor when accounting for such findings. Therefore, we investigated whether the lateralized presentation of an ambiguous rotating human body would affect its perceived handedness/footedness (implying a role of motor representations), Citation: Lucafò, C.; Marzoli, D.; its perceived spinning direction (implying a role of visual representations), or both. To this aim, we Padulo, C.; Troiano, S.; required participants to indicate the perceived spinning direction (which also unveils the perceived Pelosi Zazzerini, L.; Malatesta, G.; handedness/footedness) of ambiguous stimuli depicting humans with an arm or a leg outstretched.

  • Visual Perception Glossary
    Visual Perception Glossary Amodal perception The part of an object that is not visible because occlu- ded can be amodally perceived. Amodal perception is different and one step removed from modal percepti- on of real or illusory contours. Apparent motion When an object is presented at two different locati- ons after a brief time interval observers perceive mo- tion. The fi rst empirical investigation was carried out by Sigmund Exner . His aim, as well as the subsequent work by Max Wertheimer , was in establishing that motion was a basic sensation. Attention Refers to the selective processing of some aspect of information, while ignoring other information. The sudden onset of a stimulus can capture attention, but people can also exert some control on where they di- rect their attention. Bi-stable stimulus A particular stimulus that can produce two percepts over time, even though it is unchanged as a stimulus. An example is the Necker cube . Brightness Brightness refers to perception of how much light is coming from a given surface or object. A brighter objects refl ects more light than a less bright object. However perception of brightness is not fully deter- mined by luminance (see Illusory contours). 192 Visual Perception Glossary Cerebral lobe The cerebral cortex of the human brain is divided into four main lobes. Frontal (at the front), occipital (at the back), temporal (on the sides) and parietal (at the top). Consciousness Sorry this is too hard, your guess is as good as mine. Cortex The cortex is the outer layer of the brain . In most mammals the cortex is folded and this allows the surface to have a greater area given in the confi ned space available inside the skull.
