The brain can mess with perception in pretty significant ways based on very little information. Indeed. Which isn't too surprising since perception constructed by the brain. :) I think that the fact that you can't "will" yourself to see the colors how they "really are" suggests something the brain is taking some sort of computational shortcut to allow us to process light and shadows efficiently--one that is almost never wrong in the environment that we evolved in--that we can violate the assumptions of in the illusion. |

Touché. I really should have said something like "the subconscious can mess..." or "the lizard brain can mess...".
