abstract：:In a geometrical figure in which long vertical lines are each crossed by a series of short oblique lines, an illusory effect is obtained such that the orientations of the long lines are perceived as nonvertical and shifted away from the orientation of the oblique lines (the Zöllner illusion). In addition, the vertical...

Stripe fragments on either side of the blind spot were seen as being completed across the blind spot, but the magnitude of the tilt aftereffect they induced suggested that the perceptually "filled-in" portions of the stripes did not co...
