Fig. 1
Visual Illusions illustrate unconscious inferences on the basis of assumptions about the environment. The dots on the left side appear to be curved inward (concave), those on the right side curved outward (convex). If you turn the page around, then the concave dots will pop out and the convex dots will pop in (based on Kleffner & Ramachandran, 1992)
