DOI: 10.1016/j.ijgfs.2017.11.002
Abstract: Given the growing obesity crisis in many parts of the world, and given the seeming failure of conventional strategies to curb it, researchers are increasingly looking to visual illusions, and other ‘tricks of the mind’,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-55664-z
Abstract: When two brief sounds are presented with a short flash of light, we often perceive that the flash blinks twice. This phenomenon, called the “sound-induced flash illusion”, has been investigated as an example of how… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2021.0548
Abstract: Animals travelling in their natural environment repeatedly encounter obstacles that they can either detour or go through. Gap negotiation requires an accurate estimation of the opening's size to avoid getting stuck or being injured. Research… read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/jn.00488.2019
Abstract: In this work we have aimed to reproduce supra-threshold perception phenomena, specifically visual illusions, with Wilson-Cowan-type models of neuronal dynamics. We have found that it is indeed possible to do so, but that the ability… read more here.

DOI: 10.1167/jov.22.8.2
Abstract: Abstract Visual illusions expand our understanding of the visual system by imposing constraints in the models in two different ways: i) visual illusions for humans should induce equivalent illusions in the model, and ii) illusions… read more here.

The Prospects of Utilizing Geometrical Visual Illusions as Tools for Neuroscience
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Symmetry"
DOI: 10.3390/sym14081687
Abstract: Geometrical visual illusions have long been used as tools in neuroscience. Most commonly, researchers have taken illusions as a given and attempted to explain phenomenal impressions in terms of known neural mechanisms. In a psychophysical… read more here.
