A double neon colour illusion
نویسنده
چکیده
A new visual illusion is presented. When two neon-coloured illusory bands overlap each other, the filling-in at the region of overlap is perceived as different from those of the overlapping bands, resulting in an additional illusory shape at the region of overlap. An experiment with ten na|« ve participants was performed to measure the illusory percept. The results show that illusory surfaces may interact with each other, and, to a certain extent, create new illusory percepts. DOI:10.1068/p3118

A new visual illusion is presented. When two neon-coloured illusory bands overlap each other, the filling-in at the region of overlap is perceived as different from those of the overlapping bands, resulting in an additional illusory shape at the region of overlap. An experiment with ten naïve participants was performed to measure the illusory percept. The results show that illusory surfaces may...
متن کاملChromatic induction in neon colour spreading
Neon colour spreading occurs when sections of a lattice are replaced by segments of a different colour. This colour appears to diffuse out of the segments, and produce a slightly tinted transparent surface floating above the lattice. In two of the four experiments reported here, observers varied the colour of an area in a test display, until it matched the neon colour perceived in a correspondi...

We studied whether neon spreading can be induced within three-dimensional illusory triangles. Kanizsa triangles were induced by black pacman disks consisting of red sectors with curved sides. Viewing our stimuli monocularly produced two-dimensional illusory contours and surfaces as well as neon spreading in each ®gure. Triangles appeared concave or convex under stereoscopical viewing. Neon colo...
متن کاملTwo competing mechanisms underlying neon color spreading, visual phantoms and grating induction
Neon color spreading is closely related to the photopic visual phantom illusion, since these two completion phenomena are characterized by in-phase lightness induction, and the only difference in the stimulus configuration is the difference in the inducer height. This idea was supported by the present study. Neon color spreading showed almost the same function of critical spatial frequency as p...
متن کاملA closer look at the dependence of neon colour spreading on wavelength and illuminance
Ejima, Redies, Takahashi and Akita [(1984) Vision Research, 24, 1719-1726], studying the dependence of the neon colour spreading effect on wavelength and illuminance, found a number of relationships that appeared of difficult interpretation. This paper shows that these relationships can all be logically predicted within Grossberg and Mingolla's [(1985) Psychological Review, 92, 173-211] approac...
