Central visual persistences: I. Visual and kinesthetic interactions.

abstract：:In this paper we demonstrate the existence of simultaneous lightness contrast in displays in which the target patches are both more luminant than their surrounds. These effects are not predicted by theories of lightness that assume that the highest luminance in a scene is perceived as white, and anchors all the other ...

abstract：:Faces are difficult to recognise when presented upside down. This effect of face inversion was effectively demonstrated with the 'Thatcher illusion' by Thompson (1980 Perception 9 483-484). It has been tacitly assumed that this effect is due to inversion relative to retinal coordinates. Here we tested whether it is du...
