This conclusion is consistent with the illusion-induced changes in perceived distance to objects that we reported in our previous study (Experiments 9 and 10 in van der Hoort et al., 2011) and with the subjective experience of the illusion when participants are asked to freely describe how they experienced the test situation (Experiment 5 in van der Hoort et al., 2011).
Without microstimulation, saccades to a moving grating are biased in the direction of motion, consistent with the apparent position illusion.
For those without lenses, matches to the width of the shape were smaller by 6%% than those to the height, t(17) = 2.45, p =.0252, d = 0.56, consistent with the presence of a 6%% horizontal vertical illusion (HVI: Finger & Spelt, 1947).
The peripheral acceleration and deceleration illusions are consistent with the hypothesis that the blurring of multiple sources of motion information occurs in peripheral vision.
In comparison, although the sound-induced flash illusion has been shown to be consistent with the temporal rule, in the present experiment separating the spatial origins of the visual and auditory stimulus by 20° did not change reports of the illusion in any detectable way.
The sound-induced flash illusion is known to gradually vanish with increasing temporal incongruence [23], and thus is consistent with the temporal rule, however little is known about how spatial incongruence might affect the illusion.
Citing work on the Mueller-Lyer illusion, Fodor (1983) argues that modularity is consistent with the possibility that cultural settings can, over protracted time periods, alter how information is processed.
Also the perceptual illusion of the aircraft pilot mentioned above is consistent with the frequency segregation hypothesis.
I very often am struck with the illusion of success.
"But the fact that this picture deals with the illusion of motion — why don't we continue the illusion?
Moreover, long latency somatosensory potentials associated with the illusion are augmented in people with schizophrenia (8).
