The striking illusions produced by simultaneous brightness contrast generally are attributed to the center-surround receptive field organization of lower order neurons in the primary visual pathway. Here we show that the apparent brightness of test objects can be either increased or decreased in a predictable manner depending on how light and shadow are portrayed in the scene. This evidence suggests that perceptions of brightness are generated empirically by experience with luminance relationships, an idea whose implications we pursue in the accompanying paper.
同时性亮度对比产生的显著错觉通常归因于初级视觉通路中低阶神经元的中心-外周感受野组织。在这里,我们表明,测试物体的表观亮度可以根据场景中光和阴影的描绘方式以可预测的方式增加或减少。这一证据表明,亮度感知是通过对亮度关系的经验凭经验产生的,我们在随附的论文中探讨了这一观点的含义。
