Partial object doubling in the periphery induced by negative afterimages.

Published: November 2024

We describe a new phenomenon-partial object doubling-in which the perceived contours of peripherally viewed moving targets become distorted and duplicated. The effect appears to arise due to interactions between physically drawn contours and the strong negative afterimages that are dynamically released during stable viewing of the displays. An online demo is provided where the effect can be experienced and relevant parameters manipulated.

Color vision relies on three cone photoreceptors that are sensitive to different wavelengths of light. The interaction of three incident light wavelengths over time creates a fascinating color coupling perception, termed chromamorphic computing. However, the realization of this fascinating characteristic in semiconductor devices remains a great challenge.

Afterimages are illusory, visual conscious perceptions. A widely accepted theory is that afterimages are caused by retinal signaling that continues after the physical disappearance of a light stimulus. However, afterimages have been reported without preceding visual, sensory stimulation (e.

Background: Abnormalities in electrocortical parameters and persistence of afterimage after visual stimulation are known to occur in migraine patients. The results of studies on Contingent Negative Variation (CNV) and afterimage persistence in migraine patients suggest a link between these two phenomena and a connection to the pathomechanism of migraine.

Objectives: To date, no studies have investigated both afterimage duration and CNV parameters in the same subjects.

An altered use of context and experience to interpret incoming information has been posited to explain schizophrenia symptoms. The visual system can serve as a model system for examining how context and experience guide perception and the neural mechanisms underlying putative alterations. The influence of prior experience on current perception is evident in visual aftereffects, the perception of the "opposite" of a previously viewed stimulus.
