Kebab Illusion

A Variation of Kebab Illusion Here, I show you new illusion, Kebab Illusion. This illusion is a GIF animation which is composed of three frames. Time-line of Kebab Illusion You will percieve the illusory motion in the line. At the same time, the pre-cue presented at the Frame 1 may shift in the direction of the motion. A Variation of Kebab Illusion Real and Percieved Plesase refer to the following paper and Prof Kitaoka's Web Page for detail.

[arXiv] "Evolutionary Generation of Visual Motion Illusions"

Why do we sometimes perceive static images as if they were moving? Visual motion illusions enjoy a sustained popularity, yet there is no definitive answer to the question of why they work. We present a generative model, the Evolutionary Illusion GENerator (EIGen), that creates new visual motion illusions. The structure of EIGen supports the hypothesis that illusory motion might be the result of perceiving the brain's own predictions rather than perceiving raw visual input from the eyes. The scientific motivation of this paper is to demonstrate that the perception of illusory motion could be a side effect of the predictive abilities of the brain. The philosophical motivation of this paper is to call attention to the untapped potential of "motivated failures", ways for artificial systems to fail as biological systems fail, as a worthy outlet for Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Life research.

11th Visual Illusion and Auditory Illusion Contest in Japan

Dr. Lana Sinapayen (Sony CSL / ELSI) and Pr. Eiji Watanabe (National Institute for Basic Biology) have been creating new visual illusions based on their common work. 4 of these illusions have been submitted to the 11th Visual Illusion and Auditory Illusion Contest in Japan. Please enjoy the animations. https://www.sonycsl.co.jp/news/9164/
