Due to the arrangement of images, the effect of colors, the impact of the light source, or other variables, a wide range of misleading visual effects can be seen. If you've ever struggled to see the hidden image in a single-image stereogram, you may have discovered that not everyone experiences visual illusions in the same way. For some illusions, some people simply are not able to see the effect. Optical illusions can be fun and fascinating, but they can also tell us a great deal of 50 Optical Illusions about how the brain and perceptual system function. There are countless optical illusions out there, but here is a sampling of some of the most fun and interesting. Sometimes we see things that aren't really there, and the Hermann Grid illusion is 50 Optical Illusions great example of this. Notice how the dots at the center of each intersection seem to shift between white and gray? 50 Optical Illusions many optical illusions, different theories have been proposed to explain exactly why this happens. The popular illusion made the rounds on blogs and websites a few years ago, supposedly as a test to determine if you are " left-brained or right- brained. Would you be surprised to learn that the two people in 50 Optical Illusions image at the left are actually the same size? When you look off into the distance, objects seem closer together as they become further away. For example, the outside borders of a road or railroad appear to converge as they recede into the distance. The Ponzo illusion involves placing two lines over an illustration of a railroad track. Which line is longer? In reality, they are exactly the same length. This is one illusion that can actually make a viewer start 50 Optical Illusions feel slightly queasy if you stare at it for too long! According to the Gestalt law of closure, we tend to see objects that are close together as a related group. 50 Optical Illusions a classic illusion that still manages to stump a lot of people. Actually, both lines are the same length. Find out about how the Muller-Lyer Illusion works. If you've ever spent any time gazing up at 50 Optical Illusions night sky, then you've probably noticed the moon illusion, in which the moon looks bigger on the horizon than it does higher up in the sky. Why does this happen? Many theories have been proposed, although there 50 Optical Illusions no universally agreed-upon explanation. You can read about how the moon illusion works and 50 Optical Illusions of the possible theories that have been suggested. In the lilac chaser illusion, the viewer observes several different visual effects over the span of about 30 seconds. Check out the illusion yourself and learn more about how the lilac illusion works. Here is another fun example of negative afterimages that produce a startling result.

  • Symmetric Networks with Geometric Constraints As Models of Visual Illusions
    S S symmetry Article Symmetric Networks with Geometric Constraints as Models of Visual Illusions Ian Stewart 1,*,† and Martin Golubitsky 2,† 1 Mathematics Institute, University of Warwick, Coventry CV4 7AL, UK 2 Department of Mathematics, Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] † These authors contributed equally to this work. 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.

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.

If we were computers, then this transition might seem like going from low-level hardware to higher-level software and algo- rithms. How do our brains interpret the world around us so effectively in spite of our limited biological hardware? To understand how we may be fooled by visual stimuli presented by a display, you must first understand how our we perceive or interpret the real world under normal circumstances. It is not always clear what we will perceive. We have already seen several optical illusions.

Crognale, Ph.D., Advisor Gideon P. Caplovitz, Ph.D., Committee Member Michael A. Webster, Ph.D., Committee Member William Danton, Ph.D., Committee Member Thomas J. Nickles, Ph.D., Graduate School Representative Marsha H. Read, Ph. D., Dean, Graduate School May, 2013 i Abstract Visual perception is composed of both bottom-up (stimulus driven) and top-down (feedback) processes. It has been demonstrated that directed spatial attention enhances processing of attended stimuli, inhibits non-attended stimuli, and increases baseline activity in portions of cortex corresponding to attended areas of the visual scene in the absence of a stimulus. However, mechanisms of attention appear to influence processing of chromatic stimuli differently than that of achromatic stimuli. Visual evoked potentials (VEPs) recorded under such conditions agree with this pattern of activation when elicited by purely achromatic grating stimuli. However, when stimuli were chosen to preferentially activate the S-(L+M) or L-M chromatically opponent pathways, no changes in signal were detected as a function of attention, suggesting different amounts of feedback, or different mechanisms of feedback, reaching the visual cortex where the VEP is thought to originate.

  • Stroop Tasks with Visual and Auditory Stimuli
    Stroop tasks with visual and auditory stimuli How different combinations of spoken words, written words, images and natural sounds affect reaction times Christina Malapetsa Department of Linguistics Bachelor Thesis 15HP Psycho/Neurolinguistics Experimental linguistics 15HP Spring term 2020 Supervisors: Pétur Helgason, Marcin Włodarczak Stroop tasks with visual and auditory stimuli How different combinations of spoken words, written words, images and natural sounds affect reaction times Christina Malapetsa Abstract The Stroop effect is the delay in reaction times due to interference. Since the original experiments of 1935, it has been used primarily in linguistic context. Language is a complex skill unique to humans, which involves a large part of the cerebral cortex and many subcortical regions. It is perceived primarily in auditory form (spoken) and secondarily in visual form (written), but it is also always perceived in representational form (natural sounds, images, smells, etc). Auditory signals are processed much faster than visual signals, and the language processing centres are closer to the primary auditory cortex than the primary visual cortex, but due to the integration of stimuli and the role of the executive functions, we are able to perceive both simultaneously and coherently. However, auditory signals are still processed faster, and this study focused on establishing how auditory and visual, linguistic and representational stimuli interact with each other and affect reaction times in four Stroop tasks with four archetypal mammals (dog, cat, mouse and pig): a written word against an image, a spoken word against an image, a written word against a natural sound and a spoken word against a natural sound.
