The human brain mechanisms of afterimages: From networks to cortical layers

2025-09-04

Abstract excerpt

Afterimages are common visual illusions that have long attracted popular and scientific interest, yet their neural mechanisms remain little understood. We used high-spatial-resolution fMRI to investigate human whole brain and cortical layer activity in primary visual cortex (V1) linked with afterimages and perceptually similar animated images – stimuli designed to imitate the appearance of afterimages. Both afteri...
