When fixing your gaze on the grey dot, how many red dots do you see within the green frames? Many people consistently see two, despite only ever being shown one. Our paper about the new 'Split-Stimulus Effect' is out now in JoV [1/2]
Joe Melling et al. investigate a novel visual illusion in which moving frames cause a single flashed stimulus to be perceived in two locations simultaneously, @joemelling @Monash_M3CS @Psychunimelb

See this thread for a short summary of the findings and implications [2/2].
Excited to share my first preprint: a novel visual illusion discovered by @renrutmailliw and @HinzeHogendoorn, which we call the "Split-Stimulus Effect", in which a single flashed stimulus is perceived to be in two different locations simultaneously. [1/5].

Motion-Position Illusions (MPIs) involve the position of an object being misperceived in the context of motion (i.e. when the object contains motion, is surrounded by motion, or is moving). A popular...

Thanks to Will and Hinze for being great supervisors, and to the rest of the Timing Lab for their support, particularly @CottierTimothy for helping set up the testing room itself and @brainboyben for code troubleshooting #BenWasHere.

This illusion has a number of unique properties when compared to other motion illusions, but we also argue, using a predictive processing framework, that it has important implications for how the brain constructs visual experience in space and time more generally.

In our illusion, we used two overlapping frames moving symmetrically and transparently. When a stimulus was flashed within the two frames as they both reversed direction, two concurrent mislocalisations can be perceived.

The illusion was inspired by Özkan et al.'s (2021) paradoxical stabilisation of moving frames, where the position of a flashed stimulus is misperceived due to the motion signals from a surrounding frame as it reverses direction.

To capture where things are and what they are doing, the visual system may extract the position and motion of each object relative to its surroundi...

Thought it was a shame that no one remembered to take a photo of my Honours Conference talk on Monday, but very fortunately Charlie has a photographic memory and happens to be a hyper-realism visual artist! Unreal.
