1 Understanding Optical Illusions Mohit Gupta

2 What are optical illusions? Perception: I see Light (Sensing) Truth: But this is an! Oracle

3 Optical Illusion in Nature Image Courtesy:

4 A Brightness Illusion

5 Different kinds of illusions Brightness and Contrast Illusions Twisted Cord Illusions Color Illusions Perspective Illusions Relative Motion Illusions Illusions of Expressions

6 Lightness Constancy Our Vision System tries to compensate for differences in illumination

7 Why study optical illusions? Studying how brain is fooled teaches us how it works Illusions of the senses tell us the truth about perception [Purkinje] It makes us happy J : Al Seckel

8 Simultaneous Contrast Illusions

9 Low-level Vision Explanation Negative Photo-receptors Positive Photo-receptors Receptive Fields in the Retina Inhibitory Light Excitatory Light

10 Low-level Vision Explanation Positive Gradient Negative Gradient

11 High-level Vision Explanation: Context Higher Perceived Reflectance Less Incident Illumination More Incident Illumination Lower Perceived Reflectance Brightness = Reflectance * Incident Illumination

12 The Hermann grid illusion

13 The Hermann grid: Low level Explanation Lateral Inhibition

14 The Hermann grid illusion Focus on one intersection

15 Why does the illusion disappear? Receptive fields are smaller near the fovea (center) of the eye

16 The Waved Grid: No illusion!

17 Scintillating Grids: Straight and Curved

18 Adelson s checkerboard illusion

19 Adelson s checkerboard illusion

20 Where is the illusion?

21 Where is the illusion?

22 Same Color? Rubik s Cube Color Illusion

23 Rubik s Cube Color Illusion

24 Todorovic s Gradient Chessboard Illusion Are all the dots the same color?

25 Craik-O Brien-Cornsweet Illusion Actual Profile Perceived Profile

26 White s Illusion

27 Footstep Illusion Contrast affecting Perception of speed Click

28 Twisted Cord Illusions

29 Are the lines parallel? Straight?

30 Café Wall Illusion

31 Café Wall Illusion

32 A variant of the Café Wall Illusion

33 The Fraser Spiral Illusion

34 Pinna s Intertwining Illusion

35 Illusions involving perspective

36 Shepard s table-top illusion Which is bigger?

37 Shepard s table-top illusion Which is bigger?

38 Shadow Illusions

39 Shape-from-Shading Shadows influence the perception of shape

40 Kersten s Ball and Shadow Illusion Click Shadows influence the perception of motion and position

41 Relative Motion Illusions

42 Out of Focus Illusion

43 Spinning Wheel Illusion

44 Motion Induced Blindness Click

45 Anamorphoses Leonardo s Eye [Leonardo Da Vinci, 1485]
