Abstract：
:The mechanisms responsible for generating illusory contours are thought to fulfil an adaptive role in providing estimates of missing contour fragments generated by partial camouflage. One striking apparent counter-example to this view was described in Current Biology 21 (2011) 492-496, which showed that illusory contours could arise in motion displays depicting visible occluding discs occluding and disoccluding thin contours. These motion sequences generate illusory contours even though they play no necessary role in accounting for occlusion and disocclusion of the thin contours. The present work sought to more precisely characterize the quantitative dependence of these 'irrational' contours on the relative contrasts in the image. We show that the perceived strength of the illusory contours generated by these displays depends monotonically on the relative contrast of the occluding and occluded contours and that previous attempts to measure their strength with a method of adjustment appears to be contaminated by response bias. We further show that these illusory contours also arise when the occluding disks are rendered transparent and exhibit similar forms of contrast dependencies. These findings reveal a general methodological problem that can arise using methods of adjustment and provide quantitative data that may be used to identify the neural mechanisms responsible for IC genesis and their perceived strength.

VISION RESEARCH文献大全abstract：:In human far peripheral vision, drifting stimuli of particular periodicities appear to move in the opposite direction from their true direction of motion. This "reverse motion illusion" is a consequence of spatial undersampling of the retinal image. The illusion occurs for spatial frequencies an order of magnitude low...
