Simple displacement models cannot explain some aspects of optical illusions and figural aftereffects. The orientation-detector interaction model proposed by Blakemore and others is more suitable to explain many aspects of the Zöllner illusion, positive and negative illusions, the effect of gap between the inducing and test lines, and the anisotropy of illusions. If we hypothesize size detectors whose tuning width and distribution steps are proportional to logarithmic size, interactions between them explain well the fact that the Delboeuf illusion and figural aftereffects of circles are determined by the size ratio of the inducing to test circle, not by the absolute distance between the contours of these circles.

This chapter briefly introduces nine classical geometric-optical illusions. These include the Delboeuf illusion, the Ebbinghaus illusion, the Judd illusion, the Müller-Lyer illusion, the Ponzo illusion, the vertical illusion, the Hering illusion, the Poggendorff illusion, and the Zoellner illusion. It then demonstrates that they persist under different luminance conditions and under isoluminance. The empirical findings show that our conscious percept is similarly affected by luminance conditions and isoluminance, suggesting that joint contour processing (chromatic and luminance) may extend well beyond early visual areas. The chapter further discusses these concepts in terms of the magnocellular system, the parvocellular system, and the koniocellular system.

Following earlier informal observations, the first of two experiments confirmed that, whereas the vertical and horizontal extents of a printed passage are more or less veridically perceived when the passage is surrounded by margins as is usual on a page, they appear reduced when the margins are removed by cropping them close to the edges of the passage. In Exp. 2 with a horizontal-line grating a similar reduction occurred vertically but not horizontally, suggesting that the effect occurs for patterned regions but less or not at all for unpatterned, i.e., uniform, regions. The possible relationship between this effect and the Delboeuf illusion of size is discussed.
