Abstract
The perceived orientation of a test grating is rotated from its veridical orientation if an annulus grating with a similar orientation is present. The magnitude of this misperception was measured and found to be greater when the two gratings moved in the same direction than when they moved in opposite directions. This demonstration of a direction-specific tilt illusion is similar to the previously demonstrated direction-specific tilt aftereffect--which is to be expected if similar mechanisms are responsible for both phenomena. If the tilt illusion is caused by lateral inhibition between orientation-selective units, then these findings indicate that such inhibition is principally between units with similar orientation and direction of motion selectivities.
