What the carpentered world does to visual perception – a fresh look
Year: 2025
Type: preprint
Abstract: A recent study has demonstrated dramatic differences in the perception of visual illusions depending on the cultural background of the subjects tested. However, a recent review of decades of studies trying to demonstrate a cultural dependence of visual perception has debunked those previous attempts. The present paper discusses the neural mechanisms underlying the newly tested illusions and proposes a theory that explains their cultural dependence.
