This article reviews the study of tilt illusions by focusing on new illusions or new
demonstrations reported by Japanese researchers after the review of Oyama (1960). Steady …

Polarity-dependent orientation illusions are manifested in figures in which the impression of
target orientation does not depend only on geometrical relations between the elements of …

The analogy between the brain and deep neural networks (DNNs) has sparked interest in
neuroscience. Although DNNs have limitations, they remain valuable for modeling specific …

A single-field contrast asynchrony refers to a stimulus configuration in which there is a single
temporally modulated field and multiple sources of contrast information; the sources of …

The purpose of this paper is to give a new computational model of early visual information
processing, and to simulate by using the model the occurrence of visual illusions. The model …

In this study, we investigate the intricate connection between visual perception and the
mathematical modelling of neural activity in the primary visual cortex (V1), focusing on …

We studied a novel illusion of tilt inside checkerboards due to the role of contrast polarity in
contour integration. The preference for binding of oriented contours having same contrast …

We document a new type of perceptual effect in which asynchronous contrast signals are
presented simultaneously with synchronous luminance signals. The template for the basic …

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 …

Perceptual grouping appears both as organized forms of real figural units and as illusory or
“phantom” figures. The phenomenon is visible in the Hermann grid and in configurations …
