abstract：:A triangular-wave grating is perceived to fluctuate over time: at one moment it may appear veridical (ie triangular), at another it may more closely resemble a square-wave grating with rounded edges. In addition, the square-wave illusion itself is bistable, in that it sometimes appears to shift in phase by 180 deg. Ex...
