Akiyoshi's Illusion Pages

This is super interesting:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.ritsumei.ac.jp&#x2F;news&#x2F;detail&#x2F;?id=278" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.ritsumei.ac.jp&#x2F;news&#x2F;detail&#x2F;?id=278</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.frontiersin.org&#x2F;articles&#x2F;10.3389&#x2F;fpsyg.2018.00345&#x2F;full" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.frontiersin.org&#x2F;articles&#x2F;10.3389&#x2F;fpsyg.2018.0034...</a><p>Apparently he showed his &quot;rotating snake&quot; image to a neural network trained to predict upcoming video frames, it also &quot;saw&quot; the illusory motions.

I can’t believe he’s still updating this, thanks so much for the link. Been years since I saw this. The guy is straight-up hacking your visual processing system!

I find it funny and cute seeing animals react to these:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=CcXXQ6GCUb8&amp;ab_channel=rasmusab" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=CcXXQ6GCUb8&amp;ab_channel=rasmu...</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=S4IHB3qK1KU&amp;ab_channel=SquirrelMaster" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=S4IHB3qK1KU&amp;ab_channel=Squir...</a>

I would also recommend following Akiyoshi on Twitter (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;AkiyoshiKitaoka" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;AkiyoshiKitaoka</a>) so you can have a daily dose of visual hackery on your Twitter feed :)

Seen many of those countless times on the internet without credits. Great to see the original source, thanks for sharing!

Love the classic professorial web design.

What&#x27;s curious for me is that I&#x27;ve visited these illusions before in the past and over time I&#x27;ve noticed that I&#x27;ve gradually stopped experiencing a growing number of them.

When seeing lists of optical illusions, I never see anything regarding Edward Land&#x27;s work regarding the perception of color in red&#x2F;white images[0]. With readily available HDR displays this may no longer be relevant, but still interesting.<p>0 - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20080914012938&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;land.t-a-y-l-o-r.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20080914012938&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;land.t-a-y...</a>

Another site in a similar vein, which is worth a mention.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;michaelbach.de&#x2F;ot&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;michaelbach.de&#x2F;ot&#x2F;</a>

I like the hit counter with 129 million at the bottom

I am sure I am not the only one but some of the illusions do not work for me, and some only work after reading the description. Does your brain needs to be trained to &#x27;get&#x27; the illusion?
