The Role of Motion Streaks in the Perception of the Kinetic Zollner Illusion Journal of Vision (2012) 12(6):19, 1–14 http://www.journalofvision.org/content/12/6/19 1 The role of motion streaks in the perception of the kinetic Zollner illusion The School of Optometry and Vision Science, The University of New South Wales, Sieu K. Khuu Sydney, New South Wales $ In classic geometric illusions such as the Zollner illusion, vertical lines superimposed on oriented background lines appear tilted in the direction opposite to the background. In kinetic forms of this illusion, an object moving over oriented background lines appears to follow a titled path, again in the direction opposite to the background. Existing literature does not proffer a complete explanation of the effect. Here, it is suggested that motion streaks underpin the illusion; that the effect is a consequence of interactions between detectors tuned to the orientation of background lines and those sensing the motion streaks that arise from fast object motion. This account was examined in the present study by measuring motion-tilt induction under different conditions in which the strength or salience of motion streaks was attenuated: by varying object speed (Experiment 1), contrast (Experiment 2), and trajectory/length by changing the element life-time within the stimulus (Experiment 3). It was predicted that, as motion streaks become less available, background lines would less affect the perceived direction of motion. Consistent with this prediction, the results indicated that, with a reduction in object speed below that required to generate motion streaks (, 1.128/s), Weber contrast (, 0.125) and motion streak length (two frames) reduced or extinguished the motion-tilt-induction effect. The findings of the present study are consistent with previous reports and computational models that directly combine form and motion information to provide an effective determinant of motion direction.

Sarti4 1 Fondation Asile des Aveugles and Laboratory for Investigative Neurophisiology, Department of Radiology, CHUV - UNIL, Lausanne 2 Program Systems Institute of RAS, Russia, CPRC, 3 Department of Mathematics, University of Bologna, Italy 4 CAMS, Center of Mathematics, CNRS - EHESS,Paris, France [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. We present a neuro-mathematical model for geometrical op- tical illusions (GOIs), a class of illusory phenomena that consists in a mismatch of geometrical properties of the visual stimulus and its associ- ated percept. They take place in the visual areas V1/V2 whose functional architecture have been modelled in previous works by Citti and Sarti as a Lie group equipped with a sub-Riemannian (SR) metric. Here we ex- tend their model proposing that the metric responsible for the cortical connectivity is modulated by the modelled neuro-physiological response of simple cells to the visual stimulus, hence providing a more biologically plausible model that takes into account a presence of visual stimulus. Il- lusory contours in our model are described as geodesics in the new metric. The model is confirmed by numerical simulations, where we compute the geodesics via SR-Fast Marching. 1 Introduction Geometrical-optical illusions (GOIs) have been discovered in the XIX century by German psychologists (Oppel 1854 [50], Hering, 1878,[33]) and have been defined as situations in which there is an awareness of a mismatch of geometrical prop- erties between an item in the object space and its associated percept [68].

(August 2006) Yingwei Yu, B.E., Beihang University, China Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Yoonsuck Choe Neurons are connected to form functional networks in the brain. When neurons are combined in sequence, nontrivial effects arise. One example is disinhibition; that is, inhibition to another inhibitory factor. Disinhibition may be serving an important purpose because a large number of local circuits in the brain contain disinhibitory connections. However, their exact functional role is not well understood. The objective of this dissertation is to analyze the computational role of dis- inhibition in brain function, especially in visual perception and attentional control. My approach is to propose computational models of disinhibition and then map the model to the local circuits in the brain to explain psychological phenomena. Several computational models are proposed in this dissertation to account for disinhibition. (1) A static inverse difference of Gaussian filter (IDoG) is derived to account explic- itly for the spatial effects of disinhibition.

The extensities between the verticals and the transversals happen to be absolutely equal in retinal image size, whereas the registered distance for the verticals must be smaller than that of the transversals due to the fact that the former is assumed to occlude the latter. This combination of facts calls for the operation of Emmert’s Law, which results in the shrinkage of the occluding space between the verticals. Since the retinal image shows the transversals to be in contact with the verticals, the shrinkage must drag the transversals inwards in the cortical representation in order to eliminate the gaps. Such dragging of the transversals produces the illusory misalignment, which is a dictation of geometry. Some of the consequences of this new explanation were tested in four different experiments. In Experiment 1, a new illusion, the tilting of an occluded continuation of an oblique line, was predicted and achieved. In Experiments 2 and 3, perceived nearness of the occluding entity was Edited by: manipulated via texture density variations and the predicted misalignment variations Baingio Pinna, were confirmed by using a between-subjects and within-subjects designs, respectively.

But both illusions and accurate perceptions are governed by the same lawful perceptual processes. Despite the deceptive simplicity of illusions, there are no fully agreed theories about their causes. Illusions include geometrical illusions, in which angles, lengths, or shapes are misperceived; illusions of lightness, in which the context distorts the perceived lightness of objects; and illusions of representation, including puzzle pictures, ambiguous pictures, and impossible figures. 1. Geometrical illusions 2. Illusions of lightness 3. Illusions of representation 1. Geometrical illusions Figure I1 shows some illusory distortions in perceived angles, named after their discoverers; the Zollner, Hering and Poggendorff illusions, and Fraser's LIFE figure. Length illusions include the Müller–Lyer, the vertical–horizontal, and the Ponzo illusion. Shape illusions include Roger Shepard's tables and Kitaoka's bulge illusion. In the Zollner illusion, the long oblique lines are parallel, but they appear to be tilted away from the small fins that cross them. In the Hering illusion the verticals are parallel but appear to be bowed outward, again in a direction away from the inducing lines. In the Poggendorff illusion, the right‐hand oblique line looks as though it would pass above the left‐hand oblique if extended, although both are really exactly aligned.
