    The barber pole illusion is a visual illusion that reveals biases in the processing of visual motion in the human brain. Benham's top: When a disk that has lines or colours on it is spun, it can form arcs of colour. Beta movement: Movement that appears to occur when fixed pictures turn on and off. Bezold Effect

  3. Optical illusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_illusion

    The hypothesis claims that visual illusions occur because the neural circuitry in our visual system evolves, by neural learning, to a system that makes very efficient interpretations of usual 3D scenes based in the emergence of simplified models in our brain that speed up the interpretation process but give rise to optical illusions in unusual ...

  4. Geometrical-optical illusions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrical-optical_illusions

    Explanations of geometrical–optical illusion are based on one of two modes of attack: the physiological or bottom-up, seeking the cause of the deformation in the eye's optical imaging or in signal misrouting during neural processing in the retina or the first stages of the brain, the primary visual cortex, or

  5. Subjective constancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subjective_constancy

    Subjective constancy or perceptual constancy is the perception of an object or quality as constant even though our sensation of the object changes. [1] While the physical characteristics of an object may not change, in an attempt to deal with the external world, the human perceptual system has mechanisms that adjust to the stimulus.

    Optical illusion: A visual illusion which suggests inconsistency, such as an impossible cube or the vertical-horizontal illusion, where the two lines are exactly the same length but appear to be of different lengths.

    “Some of these kind of policies are a one-two punch for a sector like the construction industry,” he explained. And “it’s not just labor. It’s materials.”

  8. Chubb illusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chubb_illusion

    The Chubb illusion is similar to another visual illusion, the contrast effect.The contrast effect is an illusion in which the perceived brightness or luminance of an identical central visual target form on a larger uniform background varies to the test subject depending on the ratio of the central form's luminance to that of its background. [4]

  9. McCollough effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCollough_effect

    The McCollough effect is a phenomenon of human visual perception in which colorless gratings appear colored contingent on the orientation of the gratings. It is an aftereffect requiring a period of induction to produce it. For example, if someone alternately looks at a red horizontal grating and a green vertical grating for a few minutes, a ...
