Summary

The purpose of this study is to understand the visual information processing mechanisms of various grid illusions integrally through mathematical analysis and visual experiments. The psychology group will conduct visual experiments to identify the components of visual illusions. The mathematics group will improve the mathematical model based on the results of visual experiments and visual neurophysiological findings and perform numerical simulations. This research aims to create imaging techniques to manipulate the grid illusion in a transformative way and to generate valuable fundamental knowledge for art and design.
