Michael Bach (born 10 April 1950) is a German scientist who researches ophthalmology, clinical electroencephalography, clinical electroretinography, visual acuity testing, and visual perception. Bach is the creator of website Optical Illusions & Visual Phenomena , which began receiving over two million hits a day in 2005.
Contingent aftereffects have been studied in different perceptual domains. For instance, visual contingent aftereffects, auditory contingent aftereffects and haptic contingent aftereffects have all been discovered. An example of a visual contingent aftereffect is the McCollough effect. The McCollough effect is one of a family of contingent ...
The Hollow-Face illusion is an optical illusion in which the perception of a concave mask of a face appears as a normal convex face. Hybrid image: A Hybrid image is an optical illusion developed at MIT in which an image can be interpreted in one of two different ways depending on viewing distance. Illusory contours
The flashed face distortion effect is a visual illusion involving the fast-paced presentation of eye-aligned faces. [1] Faces appear grotesquely transformed while the viewer focuses on the cross midway between them. [2] [3] As with many scientific discoveries, the phenomenon was first observed by chance.
Mach bands = visual illusion of brightness (intensive property) Illusions of position (Poggendorff), orientation (Zöllner) and, below, length (Müller-Lyer) Hering Illusion of curvature Delboeuf Illusion of size: left inner circle and right outer circle are actually equal Vertical–horizontal illusion Shifted-chessboard illusion
Troxler's fading, also called Troxler fading or the Troxler effect, is an optical illusion affecting visual perception. When one fixates on a particular point for even a short period of time, an unchanging stimulus away from the fixation point will fade away and disappear. Research suggests that at least some portion of the perceptual phenomena ...
Optical illusion is also used in film by the technique of forced perspective. Op art is a style of art that uses optical illusions to create an impression of movement, or hidden images and patterns. Trompe-l'œil uses realistic imagery to create the optical illusion that depicted objects exist in three dimensions.
