It is constructed by superimposing white discs on the intersections of orthogonal gray bars on a black background.

The Hering illusion (1861): When two straight and parallel lines are presented in front of radial background (like the spokes of a bicycle), the lines appear as if they were bowed outwards. Hollow-Face illusion: 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.
The fusiform face area (FFA, meaning spindle-shaped face area) is a part of the human visual system (while also activated in people blind from birth [1]) that is specialized for facial recognition. [2] It is located in the inferior temporal cortex (IT), in the fusiform gyrus (Brodmann area 37).
