This stage of vision comes before high-level vision (understanding the scene) and after early vision (determining the basic features of an image).
Animals are known to observe many of the same optical illusions as humans do, but this was the first study to demonstrate that the Jastrow illusion is also experienced by chimpanzees. The Fat Face illusion happens when two identical images of the same face are aligned vertically, the face at the bottom appears fatter.
Jastrow was interested in perception, especially eyesight. He thought that eyesight was more complex than a camera, and that the mental processing of images was central to interpretation of the world. [31] He illustrated this through optical illusions, including the rabbit–duck illusion. [32]
