Chubb illusion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chubb illusion is an optical illusion wherein the apparent brightness (luminosity) of an object varies dramatically, depending on the context of the presentation.[1] For instance, a dark object surrounded by darker objects may appear brighter than an actually brighter object, surrounded by even brighter objects.[2] This was observed and documented by Chubb and colleagues in 1989.[3]
