Abstract
Metelli’s model of phenomenal transparency contends that the properties of an achromatic transparent surface are a function of the lightnesses of the isolated surfaces that are perceived when the region of the field where transparency occurs is viewed with an analytical attitude. It has been shown that when an appropriate hypothesis is introduced as to the condition for the balanced transparency, Metelli’s model predicts that the lightness of a transparent surface is the arithmetic mean of the lightnesses of the parts of that surface viewed in isolation. The results of the experiment reported here confirmed the prediction. The results also allowed the derivation of new equations for unbalanced transparency.
