Keywords:
Color vision, Motion perception, Simultaneous contrast, Induced color, Adaptation, Afterimage
Abstract
A white test disk is embedded in a surround that alternates, in either space or time, between red and white. Simultaneous contrast should make the disk look green, but it does not. It looks pink.
