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.

Discovery of dynamic seasonal changes in color perception ~The small fish "medaka" shows large differences in color perception in summer and winter~

Medaka Fish in Summer and Winter (from NIBB HP) In many areas, the environment fluctuates greatly depending on the season, and animals living in those areas must adapt to the changing environment. A research group from the National Institute for Basic Biology and Nagoya University in Japan found that color perception of Medaka, a small fish inhabiting rice fields and streams, varies greatly according to seasonal changes. Collaborative Research Projects with Yoshimura Laboratory. For details, please refer to NIBB's website . The article “Dynamic plasticity in phototransduction regulates seasonal changes in color perception” was published in Nature Communications. http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-017-00432-8 Authors: Tsuyoshi Shimmura, Tomoya Nakayama, Ai Shinomiya, Shoji Fukamachi, Masaki Yasugi, Eiji Watanabe, Takayuki Shimo, Takumi Senga, Toshiya Nishimura, Minoru Tanaka, Yasuhiro Kamei, Kiyoshi Naruse, Takashi Yoshimura
