Edward Adelson's reading clarifies the way our visual system perceives light. Every day our visual system faces thousand of objects waiting to be defined, so it uses a complex (stringent) processes to recognize them. But given that this process is so strict it can also be deceived, since not always what we perceive corresponds to the reality. I wonder if this is a learned process or if our visual system would react different while being in another environment.
While reading this abstract I also couldn't stop thinking about how this explanations relate to the work of MC Escher a dutch graphic artist which experimented with optical illusions using mostly shades of grey.
