  2. Ambiguous image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambiguous_image

    Ambiguous images or reversible figures are visual forms that create ambiguity by exploiting graphical similarities and other properties of visual system interpretation between two or more distinct image forms. These are famous for inducing the phenomenon of multistable perception. Multistable perception is the occurrence of an image being able ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_optical_illusions

    An autostereogram is a single-image stereogram (SIS), designed to create the visual illusion of a three-dimensional (3D) scene from a two-dimensional image in the human brain. An ASCII stereogram is an image that is formed using characters on a keyboard. Magic Eye is an autostereogram book series. Barberpole illusion

  4. Multistable perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multistable_perception

    Examples of visually ambiguous patterns. From top to bottom: Necker cube, Schroeder stairs and a figure that can be interpreted as black or white arrows. Multistable perception (or bistable perception) is a perceptual phenomenon in which an observer experiences an unpredictable sequence of spontaneous subjective changes.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_schema

    An image schema (both schemas and schemata are used as plural forms) is a recurring structure within our cognitive processes which establishes patterns of understanding and reasoning. As an understudy to embodied cognition, image schemas are formed from our bodily interactions, [1] from linguistic

    An example for a physiological fiction is an afterimage. [4] Three typical cognitive distortions are the Ponzo, Poggendorff, and Müller-Lyer illusion. [4] Physical illusions are caused by the physical environment, e.g. by the optical properties of water. [4]

  7. Necker cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necker_cube

    The Necker cube is an optical illusion that was first published as a rhomboid in 1832 by Swiss crystallographer Louis Albert Necker. [1] It is a simple wire-frame, two dimensional drawing of a cube with no visual cues as to its orientation, so it can be interpreted to have either the lower-left or the upper-right square as its front side.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubin_vase

    One element of Rubin's research may be summarized in the fundamental principle, "When two fields have a common border, and one is seen as figure and the other as ground, the immediate perceptual experience is characterized by a shaping effect which emerges from the common border of the fields and which operates only on one field or operates ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambiguity

    In mathematics and logic, ambiguity can be considered to be an instance of the logical concept of underdetermination—for example, = leaves open what the value of is—while overdetermination, except when like =, =, =, is a self-contradiction, also called inconsistency, paradoxicalness, or oxymoron, or in mathematics an inconsistent system ...
