Sentence examples for illusory perceptions from inspiring English sources

Because of this, the absolute number of illusory perceptions per trial (pareidolia rate) was also recorded.

We conceived an fMRI experiment to investigate the cortical structures taking part in these illusory perceptions.

We show that visual hallucinations are associated with a tendency to accept illusory perceptions as real, in order to avoid missing true perceptions.

While environmental cues may therefore play a role in reducing the frequency of illusory perceptions, it is unlikely that they will go as far as to eliminate them.

It is possible that hallucinating participants may perceive multiple illusory perceptions within the same trial something that signal detection analysis alone is unable to account for.

Uchiyama et al. (2012) found that the number of illusory perceptions in pareidolia images was able to discriminate between participants with dementia with Lewy bodies and Alzheimer's disease with 100% sensitivity and a specificity of 88%.

Traditional signal detection measures are unable to account for this fully, as they measure absence/presence of illusory perception, rather than absolute number of perceptions within a trial.

The Pulfrich phenomenon (PF) is the illusory perception that an object moving linearly along a 2-D plane appears to instead follow an elliptical 3-D trajectory, a consequence of inter-eye asymmetry in the timing of visual object identification in the visual cortex; with optic neuritis as a common etiology.
