Do you have any example illusions? Lately I notice that I read a lot of sentences wrong, and a second reading gives different words (though both readings were made up of similar letters), perhaps my feedback loop is too strong on the prediction?


Yes, sure:

1. The Pulfrich illusion (link to Wikipedia) is the very first clear illusion of this type.

2. Many false movement illusions expose the inevitable failure of temporal error control.

My favorite is Akiyoshi Kitaoka “subway” illusion @AkiyoshiKitaoka on May 9, 2021

3. Have a look at my pinned tweet @robwilliamsiii
