Noise masking of White's illusion exposes the weakness of current spatial filtering models of lightness perception, Betz et al. (2015). Journal of Vision. Outcome recorded: failed. Choosing White's illusion (White, 1979) as a test case, we replicated and extended the psychophysical results, and found that none of the spatial filtering models tested was able to reproduce the spatial frequency specific effect of narrowband noise. Outcome read from the abstract. View paper
