Vision Sciences Stuff -- a moving color demo
a new color demo/illusion presented at Vision Sciences
Posted May 10, 2010
This week I'm attending the annual meeting of the Vision Sciences Society in Naples Florida. Every day or so, on The Invisible Gorilla, I'll post about some of the cool, interesting, funny, or quirky (I won't say which) talks/posters I happened to catch. I've just written about a new color demo presented in a talk by Jordan Suchow and George Alvarez:
"Silent updating: Cross-dimensional change suppression"
The basic effect: If you have dots that change color continuously, you can see the changing colors. But, if they dots start moving as well, the dots no longer look like they're changing color.
You can read my description of the demo and my take on their interpretation here.
