50. "Twisted-cord" illusion. These are straight cords 89
51. "Twisted-cord" illusion. These are concentric circles 89
52. A spiral when rotated appears to expand or contract,
depending upon direction of rotation 90
53. Angles affect the apparent length of lines 91
54. The horizontal line appears to tilt downward toward the
ends 92
55. The horizontal line appears to sag in the middle 92
56. The Müller-Lyer illusion 93
57. Combined influence of angles and contrasting lengths 95
58. Two equal oblique lines appear unequal because of their

59. An illusion of area 96
60. Five equal areas showing the influence of contour upon

61. Showing the effect of directing the attention 98
62. Simple apparatus for demonstrating the remarkable effects
of contrasts in brightness and color 115
63. Illustrating brightness-contrast 117
64. An effect of brightness-contrast. Note the darkening of
the intersections of the white strips 118
65. The phenomenon of irradiation 121
66. An excellent pattern for demonstrating color-contrast 126
67. By rotating this Mason (black and white) disk
color-sensations are produced 133
68. For demonstrating retiring and advancing colors 137
69. By combining these stereoscopically the effect of
metallic lustre (similar to graphite in this case) is
obtained 141

b. A disk and a sphere lighted by perfectly diffused light 145
75. A concave hemispherical cup on the left and a convex
hemisphere on the right lighted by a light-source of
large angle such as a window 150
76. The same as Fig. 75, but lighted by a very small
light-source 151
77. Apparent ending of a searchlight beam 161
