Based on two papers that Bart and I wrote (Nature, 2005; JoV

This is the icon for our Journal of Vision paper. It is an
attempt to sum up the paper in a 96 x 96 pixel animated gif: When the disc
has no ring, there is an illusion: it appears black when it moves down and
white when it moves up. The illusion is greatly weakened when a thin ring
surrounds the disc. |
|
The left and right discs are the same. The surrounding context
causes them to look different. Bigger |
|
|
When the surrounding textures are rotated 90 degrees it is
easier to see that the two discs are identical. Bigger |
|
|
When the discs are gray, they look similar; the fact that one
disc is on a darker background than the other has little effect. |

pieces. Yuanzhen helped me take pictures to make
silhouettes. |

From the cover of Jeremy Wolfe's Textbook, Sensation & Perception. Bart and I
helped design this while I was visiting Sydney. |
