Lyer

"Lyer" has at first hard work to find shelter; he hides in the obscure holes of the alleys, "lorkynge thorw lanes"; no door opens, his felonies are too notorious.

Given the observed variation in how people see the Müller-Lyer illusion, it is possible that the visual system is modular in much the same way.

For example, he points out that well known visual illusions, such as the Ponzo and Müller-Lyer illusions, continue to deceive us even when we know perfectly well that they are illusions (figure 4. 4.1_1).

The two horizontal lines in both the Ponzo and the Müller-Lyer figures continue to look as though they are of different lengths even when we have measured them and are quite convinced that they are, in fact, the same.

They suggest that it is only during a critical developmental stage that human beings 'susceptibility to the Müller-Lyer illusion varies considerably and that that variation substantially depends on cultural variables.

[N] othing about any of the findings we have discussed establishes the synchronic cognitive penetrability of the Müller-Lyer stimuli.

Susceptibility to the Müller-Lyer illusion, theory-neutral observation, and the diachronic penetrability of the visual input system.

Brewer (2008) offers a disjunctivist account of certain illusions that he thinks need not be treated as cases of partial hallucination (e.g., the Mueller-Lyer illusion).

In the Müller-Lyer illusion, for example, the two lines continue to look as if they were of unequal length even after one has convinced oneself otherwise, e.g., by measuring them with a ruler (see Figure 1, below).
