A visual illusion refers to a percept that is different in some aspect from the physical stimulus. Illusions are a powerful non-invasive tool for understanding the neurobiology of vision, telling us, indirectly, how the brain processes visual stimuli. There are some neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by visual deficits. Surprisingly, just a few studies investigated illusory perception in clinical populations. Our aim is to review the literature supporting a possible role for visual illusions in helping us understand the visual deficits in developmental dyslexia and autism spectrum disorder. Future studies could develop new tools - based on visual illusions - to identify an early risk for neurodevelopmental disorders.
视觉错觉是指在某些方面与物理刺激不同的一种感知。错觉是理解视觉神经生物学的一种强大的非侵入性工具,它间接地告诉我们大脑是如何处理视觉刺激的。有一些神经发育障碍以视觉缺陷为特征。令人惊讶的是,只有少数研究调查了临床人群中的错觉感知。我们的目的是回顾相关文献,这些文献支持视觉错觉在帮助我们理解发育性阅读障碍和自闭症谱系障碍中的视觉缺陷方面可能发挥的作用。未来的研究可以开发基于视觉错觉的新工具,以识别神经发育障碍的早期风险。
