New paper: the ‘Double Ring Illusion’! Does the visual system integrate *intuitive physics*? This new illusion developed by Brent Strickland and I offers a straightforward demonstration – one that you can experience yourselves! Demos in thread👇 [1/6]

How do the rings appear to move, if you fixate on the cross? For most people, the rings move sometimes in 180° co-rotations (‘flipping’ back and forth), sometimes in 360° co-rotations. This multistable percept is normal, since the stimuli are ambiguous. [2/6]

this is fun! I absolutely "kanizsa" the gapped ring into a full one. I see it passing through the gaps, but the experience is somehow very surprising? I dont how completion relates to solidity and physics in your framework, but I feel like both predictions could have been warranted

Cute! Wouldn't it have been very surprising otherwise? For instance a strategy to flip the percept of a necker cube is to imagine it as physical object in a scence.

Is it weird that I don't see rotation in any of them? Just I odd 2d bouncy balls. Idk, maybe it's because I'm on a phone?
