We all pass out our lives in private perceptual worlds. The differences in our sensory and perceptual experiences often go unnoticed until there emerges a variation (such as 'The Dress') that is large enough to generate different descriptions in the coarse coinage of our shared language. In this essay, we illustrate how individual differences contribute to a richer understanding of visual perception, but we also indicate some potential pitfalls that face the investigator who ventures into the field.
我们都在各自的感知世界中度过一生。我们感官和感知体验上的差异通常不被注意，直到出现像“那条裙子”这样足够大的差异，能在我们共同语言的粗略表述中产生不同的描述。在本文中，我们阐述了个体差异如何有助于更深入地理解视觉感知，但我们也指出了涉足该领域的研究者可能面临的一些潜在陷阱。
