Study debunks myth about popular optical illusion (update).



He says it also effects the perception bias of the Necker Cube illusion.

His paper is here.

A very doubtful bit of work from someone who does not know what he is doing. I can get twenty Collingwood supporters to say they only see the world in black and white.

How do you explain the periodical reversing of all these 'illusions'? Check out the rotating spheres where there is no illumination or depth cue. Jack is a member of the Royal Society or FRS so he is no lightweight.

By the way the period between reversals is observer dependant. It is not about left/right hemisphere dominace but an oscillation where each is dominant in turn. This can be modulated by external magnetic fields!
