abstract：:Vasarely's 'nested-squares' illusion shows that 90 degrees corners can be more salient perceptually than straight edges. On the basis of this illusion we have developed a novel visual illusion, the 'Alternating Brightness Star', which shows that sharp corners are more salient than shallow corners (an effect we call 'c...
