The present study investigated whether or not visual illusions can be perceived in the tactile sense. The study employed such well-known illusions as the Poggendorff (POi), Horizontal-Vertical (HVi), and the Muller-Lyer (MLi) illusions. These figures were glued onto white foam board so the illusions could be explored both visually and in the tactile sense (tactile participants were blindfolded). It was expected that these geometric illusions would be experienced in both the tactile and visual senses, supporting the notion that illusions, though multimodal, are not amodal. Prior research suggests that not all illusions are experienced equally intensely, or always in the same direction, for both modalities. For example, prior research suggests that the POi can be experienced in the opposite direction. The opposite illusion effect for the POi occurs when the veritably aligned diagonal line appears higher, as compared with the typical visual illusion where it appears lower. Although no literature addresses the vividness of visual imagery as impacting tactile illusion effects to date, this study examined it as a covariate. Results indicated there were significant differences between the ways blindfolded and sighted participants experienced illusion effects with the HVi and MLi; however, no difference was found with the POi. Respondents were more likely to report opposite illusion effects only with the POi. No significant magnitude differences were found on any of the illusions between the two groups. Results revealed that vividness of imagery was not related to illusion effects. Future research should further examine tactile illusions with congenitally blind subjects for more direct evidence of modality processing. The results highlight the importance of understanding how blind individuals navigate their world.

How do we perceive the space around us, locate objects within it, and make our way through it? What do the senses contribute? This book focuses on touch in order to examine which aspects of vision and touch overlap in spatial processing. It argues that spatial processing depends crucially on integrating diverse sensory inputs as reference cues for the location, distance or direction response that spatial tasks demand. Space and Sense shows how perception by touch, as by vision, can be helped by external reference cues, and that ‘visual’ illusions that are also found in touch depend on common factors and do not occur by chance. Susanna Millar presents new evidence on the role of spatial cues in touch and movement both with and without vision, and discusses the interaction of both touch and movement with vision in spatial tasks. The book shows how perception by touch, as by vision, can be helped by external reference cues, and that ‘visual’ illusions that are also found in touch depend on common factors and do not occur by chance. It challenges traditional views of explicit external reference cues, showing that they can improve spatial recall with inputs from touch and movement, contrary to the held belief. Space and Sense provides empirical evidence for an important distinction between spatial vision and vision that excludes spatial cues in relation to touch. This important new volume extends previous descriptions of bimodal effects in vision and space.

Visual illusions are compelling phenomena that draw attention to the brain's capacity to construct our perceptual world. The Compendium is a collection of over 100 chapters on visual illusions, written by the illusion creators or by vision scientists who have investigated mechanisms underlying the phenomena. --

In this volume, originally published in 1978, the authors survey the historical and contemporary research literature pertaining to two-dimensional visual-geometric illusions. They bring together much of the known data, summarising and evaluating theories that have been offered to explain these phenomena. Coren and Girgus provide a new conceptual framework that suggest that visual illusions are not unitary phenomena. Within this framework, illusions do not represent a breakdown in normal perceptual processing. Rather, it is proposed that each illusion is produced by a number of mechanisms operating at different levels in the visual information processing system. The book contains an extensive collection of illusion figures. It will be essential reading for all of those concerned with vision and visual perception, since it integrates the study of illusions into the main body of psychological and perceptual theories at the time.
