This is the icon for our
Journal of Vision paper. It is an attempt to sum up the paper in a 96 x 96

appears black when it moves down and white when it moves up. The illusion is
greatly weakened when a thin ring surrounds the disc. |

textures are rotated 90 degrees it is easier to see that the two discs are
identical. Bigger |
|
|
When the discs are gray,
they look similar; the fact that one disc is on a darker background than the
other has little effect. |
