色依存のフレーザー・ウィルコックス錯視


There are so many motion illusions in stationary images. First, I talk about the Fraser-Wilcox illusion group, which is characterized by 'automatical' illusory motion in the direction along special arrangements of visual stimuli.

"Rotating snakes"

Each disk appears to rotate 'spontaneously' in the constant direction, from black to blue, white, yellow, back to black.

Color is not indispensable. Gray-scale images also work.

Fraser and Wilcox showed a new phenomenon that stationary disks appear to rotate. They reported bimorphism or bistability of this illusion.

Two illusion are cooperatively combined.


There are a few types of the optimized Fraser-Wilcox illusion.

Luminance gradient type (Type I)


The left disk appears to rotate counterclockwise while the right one clockwise.


"Dark to light"




"Light to dark"



"Dark to light" and "Light to dark"
are combined, giving a stronger illusion


Color enhances illusion.


The illusion from dark to light is enhanced by red or blue.



The illusion from light to dark is enhanced by yellow or green.



Both illusions work additively.



<Example> The upper-left, upper-right, and lower-middle disks appear to rotate counterclockwise while the rest clockwise.


Luminance step type (Type II)


<Example> The upper-left, upper-right, and lower-middle disks appear to rotate counterclockwise while the rest clockwise.

Directions of illusory motion depending on changes of luminance in each area




本発表における新しい現象の報告

色依存のフレーザー・ウィルコックス錯視は静止画が動いて見える錯視の仲間である(Kitaoka, 2014)。特定の色の配置に依存するとともに、照明あるいは刺激の物理的な明るさに応じて錯視の方向が反転する。これは、明るい条件で観察される錯視と暗い条件で観察される錯視の2つの錯視が、同じ刺激図形の中に同居していることを意味している。さらに、筆者は最近になって、明るい条件下でありながら暗い条件の錯視を観察できる方法を発見した。さらに、この方法を片方の眼だけに適用したところ、眼特異性が見いだされた。すなわち、その方法が適用された眼ではその錯視が起こるが、適用されていない眼では起こらない。錯視としては珍しい現象と考えられる。これらの発見をデモするとともに、それらのメカニズムを考察する。

網膜を明るく順応させておいてから錯視画像を見ると、明順応時でも暗い時に見える錯視が短時間観察できる。その順応の効果は単眼性である。


Kitaoka (2013)

It is suggested that this ‘luminance change-induced’ motion* might generate the color-dependent Fraser-Wilcox illusion, being triggered by saccades, blinks, flickering or shaking the images.

*The luminance change-induced’ motion includes the reverse phi phenomenon (Anstis, 1970; Anstis and Rogers, 1975) and the phenomenal phenomena (Gregory and Heard, 1983). Directions of illusory motion depending on the changes of luminance are shown in the right (Kitaoka, 2006).

Animation 1

Reversed phi movement (Anstis and Rogers 1975). There are four rectangles, each of which is flanked by thin lines that are dark or light. When the luminance of the rectangles decreases and that of the background increases accordingly, the upper two appear to converge in motion while the lower two appear to go apart in motion. On the other hand, when the luminance of the rectangles increases and that of the background decreases accordingly, the upper two appear to go apart in motion while the lower two appear to approach each other in motion. In sum, the direction of apparent motion is from the dark flank to the neighboring part that goes darkening or from the light flank to the neighboring part that goes brightening. Although the rectangles are aligned vertically, the apparent positional displacement occurs in the opposite direction to motion. If observers cross-fuse (uncross-fuse) the right and left rectangles, the upper rectangle appears to be in front of (behind) the lower one when they are dark.

Animation 2

The illusory motion investigated by Gregory and Heard (1983). This appearance is quite similar to Animation 1. The only configurational difference from the reversed phi movement is that the luminance of the rectangles is constant.

Flash(swf) --- QuickTime(mov)


Animation 3

The illusory motion mentioned by Gregory and Heard (1983), in which the luminance of the rectangles dynamically changes while that of the surround is constant. This appearance is quite similar to Animations 1 and 2.

Flash(swf) --- QuickTime(mov)


Animation 4

Phi movement (Anstis and Rogers 1975). For panel (a), dark stationary rectangles are placed on a bright stationary background. When the luminance of the right flank of each rectangle increases and that of the left flank decreases, the rectangle appears to shift leftward in motion as well as in position. Conversely, the luminance of the right flank decreases and that of the left flank increases, the rectangle appears to shift rightward in motion and position. If observers cross-fuse (uncross-fuse) the right and left rectangles, the fused rectangle appears to be in front (behind) when the right flank of the right rectangle are dark and the left flank of the left rectangle are dark. For panel (b), bright rectangles are placed on a dark background. In this case, phenomena are the reversal of panel (a).

Animation 5

Consistency between the reversed phi movement and stereopsis (Anstis and Rogers 1975). In this animation, there are two phases in motion, in which the upper-left and the lower-right rectangles are one eighth phase in advance of the upper-right and the lower-left rectangles. For example, when the luminance of the rectangles increases, the upper-left rectangle appear to go leftward followed by the upper-right one, while the lower-right rectangle appear to go leftward followed by the lower-left one. In this period, the cross-fused (uncross-fused) upper rectangle appears to be in front (behind) as compared with the cross-fused (uncross-fused) lower rectangle.

Animation 6

Consistency between the apparent motion and Café-Wall-like tilt illusions (van Lier and Csathó 2005). According to dynamic changes in luminance gradient, the flanks of the rectangle appears to tilt dynamically. (a) The luminance gradient given to both flanks is dynamically changed while the dark-gray rectangle and the light-gray background are stationary. The dark part of the gradient appears to shift outward in motion and position while the bright part appears to shift inward in motion and position. This distortion agrees with the tilt illusion. (b) The luminance gradient given to the rectangle is dynamically changed while the dark flanks and the gray background are stationary. At the dark part of the gradient, the neighboring part of flanks appears to shift inward in motion and position, while at the bright part of the gradient, the neighboring part of flanks appears to shift outward in motion and position. This distortion agrees with the tilt illusion.

Animation 7

Inconsistency between the apparent motion and Café-Wall-like tilt illusions. According to dynamic changes in homogenous areas, the flanks of the rectangle appears to tilt dynamically. (a) The luminance of the homogeneous rectangle is dynamically changed while the flanks with luminance gradient and the gray background are stationary. The darkening rectangle appears to attract the dark parts of the flanks inward in motion while the brightening rectangles appears to attract the light parts of the flanks inward in motion. This distortion disagrees with the tilt illusion. (b) The luminance of the homogeneous flanks is dynamically changed while the rectangle with luminance gradient and the gray background are stationary. At the dark part of the gradient, brightening flanks appears to shift inward in motion, while at the bright part of the gradient, darkening flanks appears to shift inward in motion. This distortion disagrees with the tilt illusion
