TY - JOUR AU - Ito , Hiroyuki AU - Ding , Lu PY - 2022/06/16 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - The Sunburst illusion JF - Journal of Illusion JA - joi VL - 3 IS - SE - Phenomenal reports DO - 10.47691/joi.v3.8208 UR - https://journalofillusion.net/index.php/joi/article/view/8208 SP - AB - We report a new visual illusion. When a Mackay Ray figure is observed in paracentral vision or near peripheral vision, a fast but smooth pursuit eye movement produces an impression of bursting of a dazzling light in the center of the figure. We call this effect the Sunburst illusion. We have included movies demonstrating the effects of changing the speed and path of smooth eye movement, saccades, luminance contrast, and color combinations. ER -
