There are several methods to trick human visual perception. Besides exploiting Binocular Rivalry (Breitmeyer. 71) to help manipulate human perception into a falsified illusion of depth, a myriad of other techniques have been discovered throughout history, but thanks to the aid of computers, the power behind these methods have been taken to unprecedented levels. One of many methods of visual perception suppression is one of Stabilized Images.” The phenomenon occurs when a stable image (such as on a contact lens) vanishes or fades, sometimes partially, due to our need to visually ‘scan’ stationary objects for them to achieve a visual solidity.” (79-80) There is also Troxler Fading which is an effect noted by a 19th century philosopher. It is produced by presenting a stimulus in the periphery field while trying to rigidly fixate on a point located in the center of the field. (80)

The contents of my research documents entail a full overview of the human visual perception processing and computer imagery capability, as well as the factors involved with specific visual phenomenon and methods. In order to comprehend the subject clearly, all such factors must be carefully considered. Realizing it is not just what is seen but also what is thought (or at least processed) is only one of several important aspects in understanding why people percieve images as they do.
