The phantom illusion
It is well known that visible luminance gradients may generate contrast effects. In this work we present a new paradoxical illusion in which the luminance range of gradual transitions has been reduced to make them invisible. By adopting the phenomenological method proposed by Kanizsa, we have found that unnoticeable luminance gradients still generate contrast effects. But, most interestingly, w...
متن کاملFrequency-doubling illusion under scotopic illumination and in peripheral vision.
PURPOSE The authors sought to determine whether frequency-doubling illusion (FDI) could be perceived under scotopic illumination at central and peripheral retinal locations. For comparison, perception of the FDI at the central and peripheral retina under photopic illumination was also evaluated. METHODS Five subjects matched the apparent spatial frequency of counterphase flickering sinusoidal...
متن کاملThe Illusion of the Illusion of Control
This dissertation is an exploration of people’s estimates of control, with a particular focus on the illusion of control. Ellen Langer’s 1975 article introduced the illusion of control as “an expectancy of a personal success probability inappropriately higher than the objective probability would warrant.” Since her work, subsequent research has focused on factors, such as mood, intention, and c...
متن کامل“Pulling Telescoped Phantoms Out of the Stump”: Manipulating the Perceived Position of Phantom Limbs Using a Full-Body Illusion
Most amputees experience phantom limbs, or the sensation that their amputated limb is still attached to the body. Phantom limbs can be perceived in the location previously occupied by the intact limb, or they can gradually retract inside the stump, a phenomenon referred to as "telescoping". Telescoping is relevant from a clinical point of view, as it tends to be related to increased levels of ...
متن کاملthe illusion of certainty and the certainty of illusion: a caution when reading scientific articles
critical thinking is necessary to read the scientific literature. however, in addition to questions about the science, often one must also question the meaning of the text. this article provides an example of the analyses needed to understand a single sentence. in so doing, it raises several interesting issues of meaning, measurement, statistical analyses, and the form in which results are pres...
