I’ve been published in my first scientific article. It is on studies of the interactions between how the visual system selects information to process further, and how it constructs perception like in the case of visual illusions. We used “visual phantoms” in conjunction with binocular rivalry to try and answer our questions.
Look at the two sets of gratings in the image and try to cross-fuse them. Remember those Magic Eye illusions? Do whatever it is you did with those to see the hidden pictures. If you do it correctly, there should only be one white cross in the middle, and your perception of the two gratings should change every second or two. You will also see faint impressions of the gratings continuing in the gap.
I won’t discuss the science here, but you’re free to download the paper if you’re interested, at the Journal of Vision’s website linked above.

Hey Emma, that’s awesome! Congrats on publishing
I must admit I’ve never been very good at those Magic Eye things… @_@
