White's illusion is the perceptual effect that two equiluminant gray patches superimposed on
a black-and-white square-wave grating appear different in lightness: A test patch placed on …

Spatial filtering models are currently a widely accepted mechanistic account of human
lightness perception. Their popularity can be ascribed to two reasons: They correctly predict …

In White's effect equiluminant test patches placed on the black and white bars of a square-
wave grating appear different in brightness. The illusion has generated intense interest …

The apparent lightness of a surface can be strongly modulated by the spatial context in
which it is embedded. Early theories of such context dependence emphasized the role of …

We introduce two new low-level computational models of brightness perception that account
for a wide range of brightness illusions, including many variations on White's Effect …

The variation between the actual and perceived lightness of a stimulus has strong
dependency on its background, a phenomena commonly known as lightness induction in …

Brief exposure to flickering achromatic outlines of an area causes a reduction in the
brightness contrast of the surface inside the area. This contour adaptation to achromatic …

White's effect (also known as the Munker-White effect) is a lightness illusion in which,
contrary to expectations based on simultaneous contrast and Wallach's rule, a gray …

Abstract In White's (1979) illusion of lightness, the background is a square-wave grating of
black and white stripes (figure 7.1 a). Gray segments that replace parts of the black stripes …

In classical White's effect, intermediate-luminance targets appear lighter when they interrupt
the dark stripes of a grating and darker when they interrupt the light stripes. The effect is …
