We tested how much of a temporal offset between the two flickers was sufficient to induce the illusion, and found that anything above 3 ms worked well. I'm really excited about this whole finding, as this illusion was predicted in theoretical models before being confirmed to exist in human perception 🙂

As predicted, the phase-leading flicker was perceived more intensely, while the phase-lagging one was perceived to be flickering less strongly. This worked for flickers up to 40 Hz, right on the border of flicker perception for our stimuli!

We found a novel visual illusion! Some theories and models of oscillatory neuronal activity assume that phase-leading neuronal oscillations will selectively entrain downstream neurons, while phase-lagging ones will be blocked (see https://doi.org/10.1038/nn.4569 and https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuron.2015.09.034).
