Last but not least
The riddle of the Rotating-Tilted-Lines illusion

Simone Gori, Arash Yazdanbakhsh

Abstract. Gori and Hamburger (2006, Perception 35 853 – 857) devised a new visual illusion of relative motion elicited by the observer’s motion. We propose that the systematic error of direction discrimination found by Lorenceau et al (1993, Vision Research 33 1207 – 1217) can explain this illusion. The neural correlate of such a systematic error with respect to the two types of neurons in the primary visual cortex, namely end-stopped and contour cells, is discussed.
