Abstract
MR. TURNER should have consulted some standard work on experimental psychology before claiming a visual illusion as “new” (NATURE, October 7, p. 180) and advancing an explanation which experiment has shown to be wholly inadequate to account for the retinal after-sensations of movement. The effects are quite independent of movements of the eyes, and as truly “sensory” in character as the after-effects of colour and brightness.
