Interrelations between the Oppel-Kundt- and the T-illusion.
Perception
July 2022
Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Germany.
In order to investigate interrelations between the Oppel-Kundt- and the T-illusion, T-type figures, comprised of one dotted and one empty line (demarcated by its endpoints), separated by a gap of variable size, and rotated to oblique orientations, were judged with regard to the lengths of the two extents. The T-illusion (overestimation of the length of the undivided line) was greater for a T with a dotted undivided line and a small gap. When the divided line was dotted, the illusion vanished at a small gap and reversed at a larger one.

Right brain damaged patients with left spatial neglect typically bisect long horizontal lines to the right of their midpoint. However, bisections of very short lines can favour the emergence of a paradoxical "cross-over" effect in which lines are bisected to the left of the true midpoint. It has been suggested that in healthy participants similar variations in the position of the subjective line midpoint can be observed in the bisections of long and short Oppel-Kundt (O-K) illusory gradients (Savazzi et al.

Neglect patients, when asked to bisect a horizontal line, typically show large rightward errors with long lines and a decreased error with medium length lines. With very short lines the bisection bias reverses from the right to left side of the line physical centre (the so-called crossover effect). It is commonly pointed out that such a leftward bias is difficult to explain by traditional theories of neglect.
