Galileo's eye: a new vision of the senses in the work of Galileo Galilei.

abstract：:Perception relates not only to the optical information from the environment but also to the perceiver's performance on a given task. We present evidence that the perceived height and width of an American-football field goal post relates to the perceiver's kicking performance. Participants who made more successful kick...

The illusory effect can not be explained by the aperture problem unlike some previous illusions characterised by misperception of motion direction.
