Abstract

Optical illusion is one of the fundamental phenomena depending on experimental contexts (settings). Figure 1 is called a Schröder stair (Schröder 1858). We can see stairs in the middle of the figure, and it has two possible ways of observing it: One way is that “the left part (L) is front and the right part (R) is back,” and another way is its converse. Such visual perception is called bistable perception (Atmanspacher et al. 2004). Experimentally, it is confirmed that the tendency of the perception depends on the angle θ. In θ = 0, most of us see that (L) is front. Oppositely, in the θ = 90, most of us see that (R) is front.
