A computational model of afterimage rotation in the peripheral drift illusion based on retinal ON/OFF responses.

Human observers perceive illusory rotations after the disappearance of circularly repeating patches containing dark-to-light luminance. This afterimage rotation is a very powerful phenomenon, but little is known about the mechanisms underlying it. Here, we use a computational model to show that the...
