Why does our visual system fail to reconstruct reality, when we look at certain patterns?
Where do Geometrical illusions start to emerge in the visual pathway? How far should we …

Visual illusions emerge as an attractive field of research with the discovery over the last
century of a variety of deep and mysterious mechanisms of visual information processing in …

Geometrical illusions are a subclass of optical illusions in which the geometrical
characteristics of patterns in particular orientations and angles are distorted and …

This article shows how visual illusions arise from neural processes that play an adaptive role
in achieving the remarkable perceptual capabilities of advanced brains. The article clarifies …

It is generally supposed that there is a single, hierarchically organized pathway dedicated to
form processing, in which complex forms are elaborated from simpler ones, beginning with …

Optical illusions highlight sensitivities and limitations of human visual processing and
studying them leads to insights about perception that can potentially help computer vision …

In constructing a representation of the visual world, the brain has to cope with the fact that
any given two-dimensional retinal image could be the projection of countless object …

The tilt illusion is a paradigmatic example of contextual influences on perception. We
analyze it in terms of a neural population model for the perceptual organization of visual …

The evolution of biological systems that generate behaviorally useful visual percepts has
inevitably been guided by many demands. Among these are:(1) the limited resolution of …

It has been widely recognized that size, shape, and distance perception are not the mere
translation of images in the eyes, as retinal images are inherently ambiguous. Some form of …
