Mr Fantastic Meets The Invisible Man: An Illusion of Invisible Finger Stretching.

abstract：:In the Jastrow size illusion, two vertically stacked but offset stimuli of identical size are misperceived such that the bottom stimulus is overestimated relative to the top stimulus due to their spatial layout. In this study, we explored whether nonhuman primates perceive this geometric illusion in the same manner as...
