New Visual Illusion Trick Your Brain into Thinking Static Black Hole is Expanding neuroscience psychology science
shows that the ‘expanding hole’ optical illusion, which is new to science, is perceived by approximately 86% of people.
An example of this type of illusion is the ‘expanding hole’ created by Professor Akiyoshi Kitaoka, a co-author of the study and a researcher in the Department of Psychology at Ritsumeikan University. “The ‘expanding hole’ is a highly dynamic illusion,” said first author Professor Bruno Laeng, a researcher in the Department of Psychology at the University of Oslo.
“Here we show based on the new ‘expanding hole’ illusion that that the pupil reacts to how we perceive light — even if this ‘light’ is imaginary like in the illusion — and not just to the amount of light energy that actually enters the eye,” Professor Laeng said. On a screen, they presented variations of the ‘expanding hole’ image to 50 women and men with normal vision, asking them to rate subjectively how strongly they perceived the illusion.
Among those who did perceive an expansion, the subjective strength of the illusion differed markedly.
