Visual Illusions Based on Processes: New Classification System Needed
- BiologyPerception
- 2016
A new classification approach based on processing areas or mechanisms may not only be valuable for a better understanding of the visual system but also for diagnostics of impairments, degenerative effects, and lesions.
Visual illusions: brain and consciousness
- Psychology, Biology
- 2012
In his review on illusions David Eagleman assumed that “The complex structure of the visual system is sometimes exposed by its illusions“ and further “The act of ‘seeing‘ seems so effortless that it…
What visual illusions teach us about schizophrenia
- PsychologyFront. Integr. Neurosci.
- 2014
How illusions have been used to explore and reveal the core features of visual perception in schizophrenia from a psychophysical, neurophysiological and functional point of view are reviewed and an integration of these findings into a common hierarchical Bayesian inference framework is proposed.
Is the susceptibility to visual illusions related to the relative brain size? Insights from small-brained species
- Biology, PsychologyComparative Cognition & Behavior Reviews
- 2020
The past two decades have been characterized by a growing number of studies finding that apes, old-world monkeys, and new- world monkeys are susceptible to many visual illusions.
What Are Visual Illusions?*
- PsychologyPerception
- 2020
The notion of visual illusions, suitably reformulated, is still viable and with various criticisms and different conceptions of the notion of illusions.
Illusory patterns are fishy for fish, too
- PsychologyFront. Neural Circuits
- 2013
Despite the existence of a large number of studies, it is still unclear to what extent previous experience plays a role in how the brain/mind interprets and recon-structs physical reality, and visual illusions are a valuable tool for understanding the neurocognitive systems underlying visual perception.
Illusions that We Should Have (but Don’t)
- Psychology
- 2012
Illusions have been much studied in psychology and cognitive neuroscience. In addition, they continue to intrigue and amuse scientists and laymen. But what exactly are “illusions”? What is their use…
Illusions, Delusions, and Your Backwards Bayesian Brain: A Biased Visual Perspective
- Psychology, BiologyBrain, Behavior and Evolution
- 2020
It is argued that the neuromodulator, dopamine, may be a crucial link between neural circuits performing Bayesian inference and the perceptual idiosyncrasies of people with schizophrenia.
Illusional Perspective across Humans and Bees
- Biology, PsychologyVision
- 2022
Bees’ visual system is introduced, and which areas might make them susceptible to illusory scenes are speculated, as well as the current state of knowledge on misperception in bees (Apidae).

An adequate theory of visual perception must explain how the fleeting patterns of light upon the retinas give knowledge of surrounding objects. The problem of how the brain ‘reads’ reality from…
Eye, brain, and vision

The author describes how the visual circuits develop before birth and the unexpected consequences of visual deprivation early in life, and describes current knowledge concerning the higher visual areas of the brain known as 18, V4 and MT.
Perceptions as hypotheses.

Experimental results are presented, aimed at distinguishing between and disconvering what happens when there is mismatch with the neural signal channel, and when neural signals are processed inappropriately for the current situation.
Illusion-Destruction by Appropriate Scaling
- Physics
- 1975
The inappropriate constancy scaling theory of visual distortion illusions is tested by optically projecting typical models giving these figures by perspective and the prediction that when perspective and stereo are geometrically correct the distortion should vanish is confirmed.

Visual decomposition of colour through motion extrapolation

The ability of motion cues to affect the perception of colour is consistent with the Young–Helmholtz–Maxwell notion of a 'central synthesis' of yellow.
