Scientists armed with a new computer model have taken a step closer to unlocking the mind-bending secrets of optical illusions that trick the brain into seeing the wrong colors when it's processing images.
In a new study, published June 15 in the journal Computational Biology, a pair of researchers used a new computer model that mimics human vision to try to settle the debate once and for all.
During these experiments, the model was consistently fooled into identifying the wrong colors, Troscianko said."My collaborator [Daniel Osorio] kept emailing me new illusions, saying that he didn't think it would work with this one," he added."But to our surprise and delight, it generally predicted the illusion in almost all cases."
