DESCRIPTION: Dejan Todorovic\, Lab of Experimental Psychology\, Departmen
 t of Psychology\, University of Belgrade\, Belgrade\, Serbia\nIdentical ob
 jects and figures may look different in different contexts. This is a gene
 ral phenomenon\, manifested in many different domains of vision research\,
  and it can provide important insights into various perceptual mechanisms.
  The talk will start with examples of salient contextual effects involving
  perception of transparency\, gaze direction\, 3D shape\, and amodal compl
 etion. Most classical visual illusions can be characterized as contextual 
 effects\, but they also involve comparisons of reality and appearance\, an
 d can be defined in a simple conceptual framework\, based on Aristotle’s
  definition of truth and falsehood. Demonstrations and experiments will be
  discussed which provide challenges to some higher-level accounts of illus
 ory effects involving perception of lightness and size. Lastly\, a number 
 of examples of a class of strong illusions involving perception of orienta
 tion will be presented\, as well as several simulations of a neurally base
 d computational model of these effects.\n
