Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both the Necker cube and Rubin's vase illusion are examples of bistable (or ambiguous) images, meaning that they can be interpreted in more than one way and we can typically perceive them only one way at a time. Figure-ground images refer to an image in which the main object stands out from the background. Subjective contours refer to perceiving contours where none actually exist. The phi phenomenon refers to the illusion of movement created by the rapid succession of slightly different images.
