The Moon Illusion explained by the Projective Consciousness Model

2018-08-12

The Moon often appears larger near the perceptual horizon and smaller high in the sky though the visual angle subtended is invariant. We show how this illusion results from the optimization of a projective geometrical frame for conscious perception through free energy minimization, as articulated in the Projective Consciousness Model. The model accounts for all documented modulations of the illusion without anomalies (e.g., the size-distance paradox), surpasses other theories in explanatory power, makes sense of inter- and intra-subjective variability vis-a-vis the illusion, and yields new quantitative and qualitative predictions.

Brain-inspired bodily self-perception model for robot rubber hand illusion

2023-03-22 · Yuxuan Zhao, Enmeng Lu, Yi Zeng

At the core of bodily self-consciousness is the perception of the ownership of one's body. Recent efforts to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms behind the brain's encoding of the self-body have led to various …

Binocular disparity as an explanation for the moon illusion

2013-01-12 · Joseph Antonides, Toshiro Kubota

We present another explanation for the moon illusion, the phenomenon in which the moon looks larger near the horizon than near the zenith. In our model of the moon illusion, the sky is considered a spatially-contiguous a…

Illusions - a model of mind

Recognizing that all mental processes have to be unfree and passive, we develop a model of behavior and perceptions. We shall see how misleading our intuition is and shall understand how consciousness arises.
