On subjective impressions or how to put numbers to visual illusions

This paper presents a simple theory to analyze some of the more common visual illusions. The reported mathematical model is able to give some numerical results concerning well known phenomena as the Zollner, Muller-Lyer or Wundt illusions. We present two different approaches, the first one related with the symmetrical operations present in each image and the second one concerning a proposed vector field related with the lines present at the image

Biophotonic and photobiological sensors: an attempt at a synthesizor approach

In order to try to apply nature-related learned concepts to optical sensors and to smart structures, and after some considerations concerning the differences between biophotonic andphotobiological sensors, some Sensory Physiology notions are presented. The influence of the subjective notions of perception are shown. Several examples are given of sensory illusions and the differences between seeing and interpreting. Different types of eyes, ranging from the compound to the mammalian eyes, are studied. A first interpretation of the previous facts concludes the paper as well as some considerations about the chaos as a possible tool to interpret them.

Some relations between visual perception and non-linear photonic structures

The main objective of this work is to present a way to emulate some functions of the mammalian visual system and a model to analyze subjective sensations and visual illusions
