Abstract
Perception of local properties of the visual field is influenced by aftereffects of adaptation. The tilt aftereffect describes repulsion of the perceived orientation of a line from the orientation of an adapting line. Analogous effects of spatial context are often called illusions. Repulsion of the perceived orientation of a grating from the orientation of a surrounding grating is referred to as the tilt illusion. In the same manner, the size aftereffect and Ebbinghaus illusion form a complementary pair of temporal and spatial context effects of size. Here we report psychophysical evidence for a previously unknown aspect-ratio illusion which causes the perceived aspect-ratio of a rectangle to be repelled from the aspect-ratio of rectangles surrounding it. This illusion provides a spatial analogue to the aspect-ratio aftereffect.
